| | The Wine News Magazine - Taking Dry Riesling's Measure |
 | | Riesling is not subjected to such treatment; new oak plays no part in its production, although older, neutral oak, such as 1,000-liter oval casks (fuder in Germany, foudres in Alsace), may be used. |
 | | In contrast, Henschke's Julius Riesling, made in the same style from grapes grown near the winery in the Eden Valley, is more floral in character, yet displays the typical regional characteristics of strong lime juice aromas and flavors, a certain minerality and a well-balanced, delicate, crisp palate expressing excellent intensity and length. |
 | | Riesling is the country's third-most popular white grape variety after sauvignon blanc and chardonnay, the best of which come from the Marlborough region on the South Island. |
