From zesty and mineral-driven to floral and rich, these three Riesling wines are perfect for summer sipping and easy pairing.
When it comes to food-friendly wines, few grapes rival the versatility of Riesling. From dry and zesty to floral and fruit-forward, Riesling’s range makes it an all-season staple — and an ideal companion for everything from spicy takeout to refined seafood dishes.
This week, we’re spotlighting three Rieslings, each from a distinct region, showing off the grape’s remarkable character and charm. Whether you’re already a Riesling devotee or just starting to explore, these bottles are sure to impress.
🍋 Oh Schist! Riesling (Germany)
Dry, zesty, and mineral-driven — this crowd-pleaser delivers citrusy brightness with a crisp, steely finish. It’s the kind of wine that wakes up your palate and makes you reach for another bite (or another pour).
Perfect Pairing: Thai takeout, lemony roast chicken, or fresh goat cheese.
🌿 Gunther Steinmetz Brauneberger Trocken (Mosel, Germany)
Elegant and refined, this bottle shows off the Mosel’s signature balance. Expect stone fruit, spice, and vibrant acidity that make it both complex and incredibly drinkable.
Perfect Pairing: Pork tenderloin, sushi, or herbed spaetzle.
🌸 Jean Becker Alsace Riesling (France)
A stunning example of Alsace Riesling — floral, expressive, and just a touch savory. With notes of white peach, blossom, and a whisper of petrol, it’s a wine that pairs beautifully with creamy dishes or shines solo.
Perfect Pairing: Baked salmon, aged cheddar, or anything with a buttery sauce.
