Reflections of Terroir in Alsace Riesling
There’s a broad misconception about Riesling, often thought of as a sweet and heavy wine. Even though it’s known as the King of Alsace, few people know how many profiles Riesling can have. This versatile, and some would say iconic, grape variety has more expressions in Alsace than anywhere else thanks to the region’s diverse soils, terroirs, and styles of wines. From bone dry to lusciously sweet, learn how Riesling reflects Alsace's diverse terroirs and the personalities of local winemakers.
