Riesling Wines

Riesling is widely regarded by wine experts as the world's greatest white grape variety — a variety of extraordinary versatility, transparency and longevity that produces wines ranging from bone-dry, laser-precise mineral whites to some of the sweetest, most complex dessert wines ever made. Its heartland is Germany — the Mosel, Rheingau, Pfalz and Nahe — where Riesling on steep slate slopes produces wines of haunting delicacy, low alcohol and almost infinite aging potential. Alsace produces richer, more full-bodied Riesling of comparable complexity. Australia's Clare and Eden Valleys produce distinctive, lime-driven Riesling with a petrol character that develops magnificently with age. At Wines Direct we are genuine Riesling enthusiasts and stock examples from every great Riesling-producing region.
