Welschriesling — fresh white wines from Austria
Despite the name, Welschriesling is not related to German Riesling — it is an independent variety with a long history in Austria. In our assortment, you will currently find a Welschriesling from the Weinviertel, starting at 6.40 euros.
Origin & Character
Welschriesling is widespread in Austria and finds particularly good conditions in the Weinviertel, the largest wine-growing region in the country by area. The continental temperatures and the loamy-sandy soils shape a style that focuses on freshness and drinkability. In the glass, the variety typically shows aromas of green apple, citrus, and white peach, plus a lively acidity that makes the wine light and invigorating. The alcohol usually remains moderate, the body slim — a white wine that does not demand much effort, but is honest and direct. A well-chilled drinking temperature between 8 and 10 degrees brings it out best.
Pairs well with
- Grilled zander or trout with herb butter
- Wiener Schnitzel with cucumber salad
- Fresh goat cheese variations
- Vegetable quiche or asparagus with hollandaise sauce
- Cold cut platters and pretzel pastries
