Riesling is a white grape variety which originates in the Rhine region of Germany!. Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity!. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling white wines!. Riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked!. As of 2004, Riesling was estimated to be the world's 20th most grown variety at 48,700 hectares (120,000 acres) (with an increasing trend)[1], but in terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included in the "top three" white wine varieties together with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc!. Riesling is a variety which is highly "terroir-expressive", meaning that the character of Riesling wines is clearly influenced by the wine's place of origin!.
In 2006, Riesling was the most grown variety in Germany with 20!.8% and 21,197 hectares (52,380 acres)[2], and in the French region of Alsace with 21!.9% and 3,350 hectares (8,300 acres)[3]!. There are also significant plantings of Riesling in Austria, northern Italy, Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, China and Ukraine!. In the countries where it is cultivated, Riesling is most commonly grown in colder regions and locations!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is a semi sweet white wine!. There are so many different ones to choose from!. Your best bet would be to ask someone in a wine shop which is the best brand!. Or, if they allow sampling of the wines, ask if you can try a few to see the differences between them!. You're the one to make the ultimate decision on which is the best!. It's your taste buds you have to satisfy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Reisling is a sweet white wine, the best is a German Reisling, but some Australian Reislings are good too, if you see a German wine mentioning "Traminer", you are on the right trackWww@FoodAQ@Com
If it is available in your area, Chataeu Ste!. Michelle Reisling is by far the BEST I have ever had!. It only costs about $12 a bottle here (Ohio) and it is GREAT!. Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Riesling is a very sweet wine!. I used to drink it when I started drinking wine!. I now go for something much lighter like a Sav Blanc!. Really depend on your taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
