  Riesling has recently undergone an incredible leap in reputation, establishing itself once again as one of the world's great wines. Freddy Price documents this renaissance, celebrating Riesling's fascinating history and heritage, and covering the nine countries and fifteen regions that produce Riesling - from the cool-climate, steep slopes of the Mosel Valley to the hot, dry plains of Australia. He gives detailed accounts of the world's top Riesling producers, including vital information on specific vineyard sites, production methods, and the range of wines produced. There are reviews of the best vintages, as well as recommendations of which wines are best to drink now. Over fifty full-colour photographs illustrate the diversity of the landscapes, and ten maps locate the top vineyard sites and the key Riesling producers.
