Riesling

Italian grape variety

Riesling (/ˈrslɪŋ, ˈrzlɪŋ/ REE-sling, REEZ-ling,[1] de) is a white grape variety that first grew in the Rhine region of Germany.

Riesling is famous for its strong flower-like smell and high acidity. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, very sweet, and sparkling white wines. Unlike many other wines, Riesling is almost never flavored with oak.
