Riesling Explained: Germany’s Signature Grape | Mastering Germany Series

Описание: Riesling is Germany’s most important and distinctive grape variety, and in this video I take a deep dive into why it has earned that status.

This session is part of the Mastering Germany series and focuses on Riesling’s history, etymology, vineyard behaviour, geological sensitivity and the wide range of wine styles it can produce, from bone dry to lusciously sweet. I also address the much-debated petrol or kerosene character and where it really comes from.
