The grape

Riesling

Best known in Mosel, Alsace, Clare Valley

One of the world's great white grapes. Lime, apple, peach and floral notes, with bright, racy acidity. Made in every style from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and capable of ageing for decades, when it develops honey and toasty notes.

Where it's from

Nahe

Germany

A small German region named after the river that runs through it, between the Mosel and Rheinhessen. A remarkable mix of soils gives Riesling that combines Mosel-like finesse with a little more body. Pure, mineral, beautifully balanced wines, both dry and off-dry.
