RIESLING

Origins

Riesling is an aromatic white grape variety originating from the Rhine region of Germany. The best examples of Riesling typically come from cool climates with extended ripening seasons and cool nights, which promote acid retention. Grown in Germany, Alsace, Austria, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia, it is an international grape variety considered to be one of the top three whites in terms of quality along with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines, it is incredibly versatile.

About

Riesling is one of the best grapes in terms of expressing its terroir, the environment in which it is grown. The soil, aspect, temperature, and prevailing weather all combine to create a distinct wine with a very clear connection to where it was grown. Winemaking tends to be minimal to ensure the purity of fruit and expression of place is front and centre.

Tasting Notes

Notes of golden delicious apples, Beurre Bosc pear and ginger spice are captured in the first effervescing notes that take flight from the glass. That first mouthful is full of crisp, tart apple flesh balanced by a honeyed and creamy richness. As your tongue gently squeezes the bubbles, a lovely mousse texture fills the palate and it’s time for another sip to repeat this wonderfully sensual, textural and flavourful experience.

Drink MadFish Prosecco as a refreshing aperitif with canapés of fresh seafood, zesty Asian inspired salads, antipasto or aged Asiago cheese.
