How does the climate influence the flavor profile of Riesling wines?

This grape variety is suitable for cooler climates, allowing the grape to develop high acidity, maintaining its natural freshness. In cooler climate regions, such as Mosel Valley in Germany and Alsace in France, Riesling wines tend to have bracing acidity, lively fruit flavors, and marked mineral notes. The warmer climates might give Rieslings more of the ripe fruit flavors and make the acidity level decrease.
