Rieslaner
One of a number of crossings between the Riesling and Sylvaner grapes. Perhaps the original intent for the Rieslaner was to create a grape that takes well to Botrytis but retains a high natural acidity. Regardless, the result was a varietal that can be full, acidic, fruity and robust when fully ripe, but that rarely happens. While the Rieslaner does well with Botrytis, particularly in the Pfalz region of Germany, the best examples come from the Franken region further to the east.
