Riesling is the world's seventh most-planted white wine grape
variety and among the fastest growing over the past twenty years.
It is a personal favorite of many sommeliers, chefs, and other food
and wine professionals for its appealing aromatics, finesse, and
minerality; for its uncanny ability to reflect terroir; and for its
impressive versatility with cuisines of all types. It is
stylistically paradoxical, however. Now usually made dry in most of
Europe and Australia, and assumed dry by most German consumers,
Riesling is made mostly sweet or lightly sweet in North America and
is believed sweet in the American marketplace irrespective of
origin. Riesling is thus consequently - but mistakenly-shunned by
the mainstream of American wine drinkers, whose tastes and habits
have been overwhelmingly dry for two generations. Riesling
Rediscovered looks at the present state of dry Riesling across the
Northern Hemisphere: where it is grown and made, what models and
objectives vintners have in mind, and what parameters of grape
growing and winemaking are essential when the goal is a delicious
dry wine. John Winthrop Haeger explores the history of Riesling to
illuminate how this variety emerged from a crowded field of grape
varieties grown widely across northern Europe. Riesling
Rediscovered is a comprehensive, current, and accessible overview
of what many consider to be the world's finest and most versatile
white wine.
