We were challenged to taste a Riesling from its motherland of Germany, Alsace, or Austria. Riesling is hot these days, especially during the warm Summer months, though I love it at any time of year.

German Rieslings from the Mosel are perfect examples. Whether sweet or dry on the palate, Riesling is a characteristically flashy grape, which is why it may be falsely understood as sweet in many cases. Those aromas of white flower, honeysuckle, and petrol are hard to miss, and easy to love. [...] [...] Wine Blogging Wednesday this month, hosted by Tim at Winecast, focuses on old world Rieslings.
