Riesling (REESE-ling) was born in the Rhine region of Germany and is considered by many as the King of Grapes that just gets better with age. Riesling wine is easy to spot in its tall slender glass bottle. Think honey and nectarines. Great with spicy Asian food.

What is the difference between dry riesling and sweet riesling?
The main difference lies in the residual sugar left after fermentation:
Dry Riesling: These are crisp and lean, often featuring citrus and mineral notes. Many iconic Australian bottles from the Clare Valley fall into this category.
Sweet Riesling: These have a rounder mouthfeel with flavours of apricot and honey.
If you’re unsure, a quick tip is to check the alcohol percentage on the label; lower alcohol (8–10%) usually indicates a sweet riesling, while higher alcohol (12%+) often points to a dry riesling.
