What is Roter Riesling?
Roter Riesling is an extremely rare mutation of Riesling, found planted in tiny quantities in Germany and Austria. Despite its name, it is in fact a pink-skinned grape variety, making white wines which are not dissimilar to those made from its more prominent namesake. These tend to be crisp and aromatic, although slightly heavier than Riesling.
