Wines made from Riesling grapes of North East Victoria
Discover the best wines made with Riesling as a single variety or as a blend of North East Victoria.
Crystalline, taut whites with vibrant acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, vineyard peach and mineral/petrol notes with age. Made as dry (Trocken, Alsace), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, late harvest). Star of the Moselle, Rheingau, Alsace AOC and Wachau. Also exported to Clare Valley and Finger Lakes.
North-east Victoria zone (Australia), world home of Rutherglen fortified wines: syrupy Muscats and Topaques with raisin, fig, date, caramel, coffee, honey and spice notes, blends up to 50 years old, among the most opulent in the world. High-altitude King Valley excels in fresh Glera sparkling (Prosecco — pear, apple, flowers) and Pinot Grigio. Beechworth signs precise Chardonnay (citrus, nut butter) and peppery high-altitude Shiraz. A multi-style treasure.
