Goldriesling

Goldriesling is primarily grown in Germany and Austria. Goldriesling is a productive variety. It is early budding, therefore at risk from spring frosts, and early ripening. Not especially cold-hardy. Susceptible to downy mildew and botrytis bunch rot. Small bunches and berries. In Germany, the wines are usually light and dry, with a crisp acidity and notes of citrus and white flowers. In Austria, the wines can be richer and more full-bodied, with hints of honey and stone fruit. In other regions, the wines can be further influenced by the local climate and winemaking techniques. Goldriesling pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from fish and shellfish to roasted vegetables and salads. It is also a great match for spicy dishes, as its crisp acidity can cut through the heat.
