Riesling is cultivated in various wine regions globally, including Germany, Alsace, Australia, and the United States, and it's particularly associated with the production of quality sweet wines like German "Riesling Auslese" or "Eiswein." The grape's ability to balance sweetness and acidity makes Riesling an adaptable and beloved choice among wine enthusiasts.
