Said by many to be the most noble of the white grape varieties. Indigenous to Germany, but also grown in Austria, Alsace, and Washington and New York State. Riesling prefers cooler climates and when grown in the right place can show racy minerality and acidity, along with an alluring amount of ripe peach and citrus flavors.

A variety of vinifera that is highly significant to the Finger Lakes wine industry, although it is not as commercially popular in the U.S. as Chardonnay.

A variety of grape used to produce white wine ranging from very dry to very sweet.
(REESE-ling) - The classic German grape of the Rhine and Mosel, certainly ranks with Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir among the most noble wine grapes. Germany's great Rieslings are usually made slightly sweet, with strong, steely acidity for balance, a style of wine so variant from the French, Italian and U.S. tradition that it requires a real paradigm shift for many of us to enjoy; but objectively, the greatest German Rieslings stand comparison to the best the world has to offer. Alsatian Riesling is also excellent, though usually made in a different style, equally aromatic but typically stronger and usually dry or nearly so. California Rieslings, in my opinion, are much less successful, usually sweet without sufficient acidity for balance, although some compelling "Alsace-style" Rieslings have come from the Eastern U.S. Another wine so complex that it defies easy description, but I often find fresh apples, sometimes pleasantly resinous notes like pine, and occasionally an odd mineral quality that's half-jokingly described as "diesel" or "petrol" or even "bus exhaust," although it's not at all unpleasant.

Riesling is a white grape variety and varietal appellation of wines grown historically in Germany (see German wine), Alsace (France), Austria, and northern Italy. It is a very old grape, first documented in 1435, in which year the storage inventory of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen (a small principality on the Rhine) lists the purchase of six barrels of riesslingen from a Rüsselsheim vintner. The modern word Riesling was first documented in 1552 when it was mentioned in Hieronymus Bock's Latin herbal.
