Riesling is an aromatic white grape known for its high acidity and flavours of lime, green apple, peach and flowers. It is famous in Germany, but also thrives in Australia, and France. Riesling is loved for its ability to make wines ranging from bone dry to very sweet while still fresh and vibrant.
Choose low-tannin, fruit-forward reds like Pinot Noir, Gamay, Grenache, or Merlot for the smoothest introduction to red wine. If red wine has seemed bitter or heavy before, you may have started with the wrong bottle.
