Riesling
Riesling vies with Chardonnay as the source of the greatest white wines in the world. Germany in particular produces sublime white wines in all styles from the very dry to super sweet. The wines have enormous potential to age. Unsurprisingly, it also does well in Austria and just over the border, in Alsace in France, where the wines tend to be drier. In the New World, it is mostly grown in Australia with some excellent example from the Clare and Eden Valleys where it produces dry, lime-scented wines. New Zealand is another country it does well in, favouring the cooler climate. There is a small amount in North America, where it goes by the name of Johannisberg Riesling.
