The Riesling grapes used in the German White kit come from the northern Italian region of Veneto. Riesling is a late-ripening grape, with only a moderate yield. This makes it difficult to grow, which is often reflected in the price.
The Bards Blends Riesling is a medium dry, complex white wine that ages very well. Typical Riesling flavors include fruity and floral, as well as honey and musky.
