A rewarding choice for home vineyards, pergolas, and ornamental edible gardens, these seeds offer the chance to cultivate a piece of winemaking heritage.
Riesling grapes are traditionally used for white wine production and fresh eating, producing small clusters of sweet, floral-scented berries on strong, twining vines.
