Reisling

[Bucko]

Riesling is one of the most versatile grapes in the world. It is vinified in a range from bone dry to unctuously sweet. It may be a hardy grape, but large yields often lead to diluted, uninteresting wines (although the Germans seem to avoid this). I have seen many tasting notes on Riesling, but I have never seen the peppery adjective attached to this grape, spicy, yes, peppery, no. Slate or petrol is the adjective most used.
