Rieslings are extremely versatile with Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Thai dishes

Riesling is a white grape indigenous to Germany, but now widely grown in cool areas throughout the world. It can produce light to medium bodied wines (dependent on climate) and very high acidity allows it to make a spectrum of wines from bone dry, to off-dry to lusciously sweet dessert wines.

Off-dry Rieslings are extremely versatile with Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Thai dishes and also work well with pork, river fish and goat cheese. This style works especially well with Japanese dishes like sushi and sashimi.
