Rhine - Riesling

White Grape Variety
Romanian Wines - Rhein Riesling
Rhein Riesling, also known as Riesling, is a revered white grape variety originating from the Rhine Valley in Germany, widely acclaimed for its versatility and finesse. The wines from this variety offer a wide range of styles and flavors, from stone fruit, citrus, green apple, and floral aromas to distinctive mineral notes in the most refined examples. As they age, the wines can develop complex petrol and honey flavors. With its high acidity providing remarkable freshness and an impressive aging potential, Riesling can produce wines ranging from very dry to extremely sweet, perfectly suited both as an aperitif and in pairing with a diverse array of dishes.

Rhein Riesling in Romania

In Romania, Rhein Riesling is cultivated on approximately 494 hectares across several major wine regions, each with its own climatic and soil characteristics that influence the profile of the wines produced. Well-known wine regions such as Dealu Mare, Tarnave, Cotnari, and Iasi are renowned for their Rhein Riesling production. The wines made from this variety in Romania are valued for their vibrant acidity, complex fruit aromas (apples, pears, peaches), and mineral notes. Occasionally, in particularly good years, the wines can develop hints of petrol and honey, indicative of their maturation and evolution in the bottle.

The Tarnave region is one of the most famous for Rhein Riesling in Romania. It has a moderate continental climate with cold winters and warm summers, and the altitude of the vineyards gives the wines a distinctive character, often with well-balanced acidity and pronounced floral notes. In the Dealu Mare vineyard area, located in southern Romania, this region is shielded from the cold northern winds by the Southern Carpathians. Here, Rhein Riesling benefits from clay soils, which contribute to the production of medium-bodied wines with complex citrus fruit aromas.

The Cotnari region is famous for its sweet wines but also produces dry Rhein Riesling. The climate is favorable, with warm summers and mild winters, and the mineral-rich soils give the wines a distinct mineral note. Rhein Riesling wines produced in Romania are highly regarded both on the domestic market and in international competitions, where they often win medals and recognition.
