Should Riesling be Chilled? Cooler temperatures bring out the acidity and tannic qualities of a wine. ... A warm bottle of Riesling needs a little bit of hibernation time in a refrigerator until it falls to about 50° F. Don't let your Riesling sleep for too long, though.

What temp do you serve Riesling?

Light, Dry Whites (Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, etc.) Serve at 45–49°F. Tip: The lighter the wine is in color and style, the colder it should be served to maintain its acidity and freshness.

Which wines should be chilled?

Lighter, fruitier, and drier white wines such as Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are ideal at colder temperatures, usually between 45-50 degrees. Bubbly bottles such as Champagne, Prosecco, sparkling brut, and sparkling rosés should always be chilled to 40-50 degrees.
