When asked what minerality tastes like in a wine, offering this dry, remarkably well-priced wine is the apt solution. From smoke and struck slate on the nose to an intriguingly spicy, crushed mineral palate, this easy-drinking but elegant sip is just what the doctor ordered.
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
