Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Riesling appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
"Riesling stellt hohe Anforderungen an die Lage, da er sehr spät reift. Optimale Bedingungen bieten die wärmespeichernden steinigen Steillagen entlang der Flusstäler, wie sie etwa am Rhein, an der Mosel, der Saar, der Ruwer oder in der Wachau gegeben sind."
"Der Geschmack des Rieslings zeichnet sich durch vielfältige fruchtige Aromen, wie Grapefruit, Limone, Zitrone, Apfel, Pfirsich und Passionsfrucht, aus. Altersgereifte Weine weisen häufig einen Petrolton auf."
