Riesling is the quintessential German grape that can produce wines that are shockingly dry, super sweet, and everything in between. Intensely fruity with a succulent floral bouquet, Rieslings are rising in popularity and taking their rightful place among the great white wines. Drier Rieslings are tantalisingly tart with the flavours of lemon, lime, Granny Smith apple, and even guava. The sweeter varieties provide the pleasurable punch of peach, apricot, and tropical tastes like pineapple.

We at Cloudwine are dedicated to showcasing the extensive range and versatility of our wines, and we went all out with our Rieslings. Taste Germany's different Rieslings — light to medium-bodied and acidic with the bright flavours of lime, peach, and green apple or fuller-bodied wines exhibiting flavours of orchard fruits, spices, and honey. Rieslings from the Pacific Northwest United States are off-dry and easy-drinking, highly acidic, and boast tropical and floral notes. Here at home, Clare Valley and Eden Valley Rieslings will perk you up with an acidic, tart citrus punch.
Whether you decide to try a range of Rieslings as a member of our Cloudwine Wine Club or want our master wie curators to create the ultimate gift pack for you, Cloudwine wines will titillate your taste buds and create memories that entertain and linger. Compare and contrast the Rieslings, or mix it up with robust reds and spirited sparkling wines.
Fresh and fruity…is the beauty of Riesling wines, which can run the gamut from dry and tart, to tropical fruit flavours, to citrus tastes. This makes Riesling one of the most versatile white wines.
The “typical” Riesling from Germany is decidedly acidic with almost tropical-tasting fruity notes — and the faint, familiar flavour of grass. Riesling from South Africa tends to be bone dry, blending bright fruity flavour with floral notes and a slightly chalky quality. France’s Rieslings display the citrus wonder of lime and Meyer lemon, as well as stone fruit such as apricot.

The colder the Riesling, the fruitier the flavour and the less acidic the wine — so it is recommended to serve Riesling at 3-7 degrees Celsius.
Drier Riesling makes for excellent sipping wine, but it also brings out the garlic and herb flavours in seafood dishes, Thai fare, and white-sauced pastas. Semi-dry Riesling enhances duck, pork, and exotic Southeast Asian cuisines. The sweeter variants are perfect as dessert wines in their own right, but can bring out the best in creamy or fruity desserts as well.
