Others' opinions do not change my statement that I would not normally think of rieslings as lemony citrusy. Here's why:

Being a cool climate grape, Riesling has a higher malic acid concentration than grapes such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Malic acid is responsible for the characteristic green apple traits of cold weather Rieslings.

I can't cite you a source offhand. It's just something that I known to be true.

In my experience, this is far more common than lemon aromas/flavors. Moving to spatlese level and above, peach and ripe apple dominate.

You may have noticed that even in the source to which you cite the primary or first characteristic listed is "green apple", which is then followed by lemon and lime. Do you think that could be because green apple is the more common flavor/aroma characteristic?

If you have more experience with New World Rieslings such as CA, OZ and even WA, this may have influenced your view.
