Riesling (REEZ Ling) is one of the noble grape varieties and is capable of producing a variety of extraordinary white wine styles. Riesling is most known for the sweeter style of German wine it produces. These wines contain alluring floral bouquets and are filled with peach, honey and apricot fruit flavours. The much-touted Riesling produced in Alsace offers the same aromas and fruit flavours but is produced in a drier style and is famous for its food pairing capability. California and Washington State also produce high-quality Riesling. Most of these fresh wines are made in a sweeter style and are a great alternative to White Zinfandel.
