Emerald Riesling
Emerald Riesling is a white grape variety that is a cross between the Riesling and Muscat of Alexandria grape varieties. It was developed by Dr. Harold Olmo at the University of California, Davis in 1948.
History[edit | edit source]
Emerald Riesling was created as part of a program to develop grape varieties that could thrive in the hot growing conditions of California's Central Valley. The variety was released to the public in 1961.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Emerald Riesling is a high-yielding grape variety that is resistant to many common grape diseases. It produces wines with a light, almost neutral flavor, with hints of the floral and fruity characteristics of its parent varieties.
Wine Production[edit | edit source]
Emerald Riesling is used to produce a variety of wine styles, including dry, semi-sweet, and sweet wines. It is also used in the production of fortified wines and sparkling wines.
Distribution and Wines[edit | edit source]
While Emerald Riesling was initially developed for use in California, it has since been planted in other wine regions around the world. It is particularly popular in Israel, where it is used to produce a range of wines, including some of the country's most popular white wines.
