RIESLING
A RARITY AMONG SOUTH AFRICA'S WHITE GRAPE VARIETIES
The white grape variety Riesling feels very much at home in cooler wine-growing regions and is particularly popular in Germany, where it is grown on steep slopes. In South Africa, Riesling is not so often found in vineyards, but even in the Cape the grape variety has now adapted to the soil and climate. The late-ripening grape produces lively wines with fresh elegance that score with their fruity aromas of stone fruit and mineral flavour.
