Riesling is considered one of the world&#8217;s finest white wine grapes, beautifully expressing its terroir and producing long-lived wines. The Riesling white wine variety gives dry white wines plenty of freshness. A powerful yet slightly fruity variety that produces exceptionally refined wines par excellence.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riesling is the foremost image and icon of Alsace wines. Here and from here, you must taste Riesling. It rarely disappoints. A small pitfall is residual sugar, which some producers leave in the wine believing it will help with sales in the US market. Wolfberger doesn&#8217;t do this. Interestingly, wine country France only allows Riesling with authorization and appellation in Alsace.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find price and product information <a href=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/viini\/wolfberger-riesling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check out other Wolfberger wines here too!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolfberger Riesling \u2013 a Finnish favorite Wolfberger Riesling is a wine loved by Finns,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_page_background_color":"","_page_header_background":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[438,462],"tags":[],"makuelamys":[],"class_list":["post-8725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-we-recommend","category-white-wines"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8725"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8729,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8725\/revisions\/8729"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8725"},{"taxonomy":"makuelamys","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/makuelamys?post=8725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
