Riesling should have Floral (Blossom) in Flavour #2

Open dereklei opened 3 weeks ago

In the book it says Riesling has "floral (blossom)" when Riesling grapes are just-ripe.

Hi! Thanks for the issue. I've just looked up Riesling (chapter 8, p. 31) in the book and it says in the 2nd paragraph:

The specific fruit flavours in the wine vary according to the level of ripeness in the grapes at the time of harvest. Grapes that are just-ripe produce wines with flavours of green fruit (apple, pear) and citrus (lemon, lime). Extra-ripe grapes give flavours of stone fruit (peach, apricot) tropical fruit (mango, pineapple) and sometimes even dried fruit (dried apricots, raisins).

So if you could please clarify where is the piece of information that you mentioned?
