The grape is a floral grape variety that gives off perfumed aromas. Riesling can be used to create anything from sparkling wines to sweet ice wines. The variety is one of the top wines in line with Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. In the mid 2000s, Riesling was one of the most popular varieties grown in Germany and in France. There are also many vineyards grown over Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, and China. The Riesling grape variety dates back to the 15\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century under the term Rieblinge\u003cem\u003e, \u003c\/em\u003ebut the term Riesling was first adopted in 1552 in documents. The wine variety is said to be a crossing of wild vines from the Rhine region, and DNA evidence shows that Riesling is actually related to Gouais Blanc. The grape variety is tender and has to be harvest carefully so the grapes are not crushed or bruised. Riesling pairs easily with food because of its moderate amount of sugar and acidity. The wine pairs nicely with foods that are spicy or have strong flavors and also goes well with pork and white fish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hahn-piesporter-michelsberg-riesling-2012","title":"Hahn Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003eHahn Piesporter Michelsberg Riesling 2012 is made from 100 percent Riesling.

Review: The 2020 Ried Achleiten Riesling Smaragd offers a well-concentrated, fleshy and spicy stone fruit aroma with crunchy and flinty notes. It needs some time to get rid of the stewed fruit flavors, though. Full-bodied, fresh and crystalline, this is an elegant, complex and finely tannic Riesling that needs some years rather than a carafe to polymerize the tannins and gain some finesse. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.At Prager, I could not determine that 2020 would be inferior to the 2019 vintage on the contrary, the 2020 Smaragd wines fascinated me enormously in their clear, cool, terroir-tinged way. A 38% loss had occurred mainly because of the hail on August 22, although predominantly in the Federspiel or Riesling vineyards. There was no damage in the top vineyards such as Ried Klaus, Achleiten or Zwerithaler. Interestingly, the vines are in agony for about two weeks after the hail. There was no more growth, no development of ripeness and sugar, reports Toni Bondenstein. The Veltliner then recovered earlier, while even picking a Riesling Federspiel in October was still a struggle. Why Riesling reacted more intensively to the hail, I don't know myself either, says Bodenstein. Whole clusters were pressed to preserve acidity and to compensate for the lower extract, and compared to 2019, the 2020s were left on their lees longer. In June, however, the 20s in particular showed outstanding early shape. Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Yellow stone fruit nuances with a mineral underlay, notes of peach and mango, a hint of tangerine zest, mineral touch.

Franz Prager, co-founder of the Vinea Wachau, had already earned a reputation for his wines when Toni Bodenstein married into the family. Bodenstein's passion for bio ersity and old terraces, coupled with brilliant winemaking, places Prager in the highest echelon of Austrian producers.Smaragd is a designation of ripeness for dry wines used exclusively by members of the Vinea Wachau. The wines must have minimum alcohol of 12.5%. The grapes are hand-harvested, typically in October and November, and are sent directly to press where they spontaneously ferment in stainless-steel tanks.Klaus sits adjacent to Achleiten and is one of the Wachau's most famous vineyards for Riesling. The vineyard is incredibly steep with a gradient of 77% at its steepest point. The southeast-facing terraced vineyard of dark migmatite-amphibolite and paragneiss produces a tightly wound and powerful wine. The parcel belonging to Toni Bodenstein was planted in 1952. Tasting Notes:Austrian Riesling is often defined by elevated levels of dry extract thanks to a lengthy ripening period and freshness due to dramatic temperature swings between day and night. Klaus is not a charming Riesling, says Toni Bodenstein with a wink. Klaus is Prager's most assertive and robust Riesling. Food PairingRiesling's high acidity makes it one of the most versatile wines at the table. Riesling can be used to cut the fattiness of foods such as pork or sausages and can tame some saltiness. Conversely, it can highlight foods such as fish or vegetables in the same way a squeeze of lemon or a vinaigrette might. Review: What a stunning example of cool climate riesling. It's full-bodied and deep, but so cool and delicate, packing in sleek layers of honeysuckle, apricots, lemons and grapefruit married to thyme and crushed rock.
