How does New Zealand Riesling compare to other regions?

New Zealand Riesling is valued for its high acidity, its strong aromas and its fruity and bright citrus profile. The German Rieslings are typically sweeter than the New Zealand Riesling but these do not go over the top with the fruit flavors. Rather, they are characterized by a dry crisp acidity that brings out the best in the grape. Such areas as Marlborough or Waipara Valley are widely known for their graceful rieslings with the fruit flavor and typical varietal character, which makes them a perfect choice for both those who appreciate the spatial distinction and those who wish to find their favorite wine.
