Information
Riesling is a white grape variety that is widely planted in Germany, where it produces a range of styles from dry to sweet. Dry Rieslings from Germany are known for their high acidity, minerality, and bright, citrusy flavors. They are typically made in a crisp, refreshing style that makes them a perfect pairing for a wide range of foods, including seafood, shellfish, and spicy dishes.

Fun facts
A significant historical moment for Riesling Trocken in Germany occurred in the late 20th century when winemakers began shifting towards drier styles to meet evolving consumer preferences. This departure from traditional sweetness required experimentation with fermentation techniques to achieve complete dryness while preserving Riesling's characteristic acidity and fruitiness. This transformation not only diversified the range of Riesling wines available but also elevated German Riesling's reputation globally, showcasing the country's adaptability and commitment to quality winemaking.
