Riesling- A more common variety known to produce wine with lime, lemon, pineapple and apricot flavors. It is known for having high acid and being very aromatic. It can be found as a dry wine, typically from Alsace or Washington State, or a sweeter wine such as those from in Germany. My husband's favorite Riesling is Chateau Ste. Michelle.
Viognier- This is a lesser known grape which is gaining in popularity. It is grown primarily in Northern Rhone and California. It is noted to have apricot as well as floral, citrus, spice, apple and peach flavors. The wines are typically medium bodied with high acid and fruit.
Moscato- This wine is a generally sweet fizzy (spumante) wine. It is grown throughout the world, but most of it the sparkling moscato d' Asti found in France. However there are also non-fizzy whites and reds made from the moscato grape. It has medium acidity with citrus flavors.
Some other wines that may have apricot flavors are Semillon, Chenin Blanc, Alsatian Pinot Gris.
