Article Abstract:

The extremely long-lived, invariably expensive Riesling, known for its intense sweet dessert-style wines combines richness with delicacy in an ethereal balance of sweetness, acidity and low alcohol. The acidity in Riesling remains refreshing and keeps the wine from being heavy or cloying.
