SCENT SOMMELIER by Salud

If you haven’t given Riesling a chance because you think it may be too sweet and sugary, I think I can help to change your mind.

In the wine world, Rieslings tend to fall into either a “Dry” or “Sweet” category.  Regions producing fine versions of the style include California, New Zealand, Australia, Alsace and of course, Germany.  Riesling grapes love cool climates and newer wine regions such as the state of Michigan are even starting to become known for their unique blends.

German Rieslings are incredibly approachable, light in body, well-balanced and full of fruity flavor (except for late harvest and dessert style, which fall into another scent and taste category).   Because the Riesling grape is grown in a cooler climate that sweetens the fruit, this element is more apparant than in other white wines.  Salud’s Riesling Perfume is inspired by these German varietals - not too sweet, balanced, fruity and memorable.

I created the Salud Wine Aroma Collection to celebrate the scents of the wine wheel, and to help train the nose to appreciate and learn about essences that can be found in wines such as Riesling.

Thanks to my friends at Wine Depot, I am learning even more about the amazing qualities, taste and bouquet of a German Riesling.  Frank Lietzau, Wine Depot’s owner and expert of everything Riesling, imports exquisite German varietals from the very best winemakers in Europe.  At a recent wine tasting with Frank, he exclaimed, “no buttery oak chips allowed!” as he trains my palate and nose to acknowledge more sophisticated blends of European white wines.   We spritz some Salud Riesling Perfume on the skin, take a mouth-watering whiff… swirl the glass and admire the vibrant color of the wine.  As the senses awaken, next comes the sip - tangy, fruity, refreshing and smooth as nectar.

Spray on some Salud Riesling Perfume and head over to Wine Depot.  I promise that the sweet smell of Riesling will truly treat your senses.
