Welschriesling, presumably originating from northern Italy, is cultivated in several Central European countries, such as Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia. This versatile grape variety covers almost all ripeness categories, from acidic sparkling wine base wines to noble sweet Trockenbeerenauslese. Typical for Welschriesling are fruity-spicy aromas of green apple and citrus, often accompanied by notes of hayflower and a mineral touch. On the palate, it captivates with a lively, harmonious acidity and a juicy, distinctive style. Prädikat wines exude a creamy, velvety fragrance with aromas of dried fruit and white pepper, which develop into black tea aromas with aging.
