Riesling

Aussi connu sous le nom de: Rheinriesling, Johannisberg Riesling

One of the world's greatest white grapes, Riesling produces wines of crystalline purity with electric acidity. It can range from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and ages beautifully for decades.

The 'petrol' note in aged Riesling is caused by TDN, a compound that develops as the wine ages.
