==Red Riesling==
A very rare version of Riesling that has recently received more attention is Red Riesling (''Roter Riesling''). As the name suggests, this is a red-skinned clone of Riesling (a skin color commonly found for, e.g., [[Gewürztraminer]]), but not a dark-skinned clone, i.e., it is still a white wine grape. It is considered a [[mutation (vine)|mutation]] of White Riesling, but some experts have suggested the opposite relationship, i.e., that Red Riesling could be the forerunner of White Riesling.<ref name="WP Roter Riesling"/> Small amounts of Red Riesling are grown in Germany and Austria. In 2006, the [[Rheingau wine|Rheingau]] winery Fritz Allendorf planted what has been claimed to be the first commercial amounts of Red Riesling.<ref>[http://www.wein-plus.com/magazine/index.html?show=fullnews&nr=3501 Wein-Plus Magazine September 6, 2006: Allendorf sees red] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110512172122/http://www.wein-plus.com/magazine/index.html?show=fullnews&nr=3501 |date=May 12, 2011 }}.</ref> To confuse matters, "Red Riesling" has also been used as a synonym for red-skinned [[Traminer]] grapes (such as the [[Savagnin rose]] of [[Klevener de Heiligenstein]]) and the obscure variety [[Hanns]], which is a seed plant of [[Roter Veltliner]]. Roter Riesling has nothing to do with [[Pinot Meunier|Schwarzriesling]].
