Default Riesling (Calif to German)- Question

Hi .. new to this group, I've a question if I may ..

For a number of years I've used concentrates to make a German Riesling or
German Riesling type white wine. I like the taste.

Now I use grape juice, both for red and white wine. Problem is, I cant buy
grape juice from German Riesling grapes, I can get and do use California
Riesling grape juice for my Riesling but as you know it does not have that
German type taste.

So .. the question is .. can I add Elderberry flowers or something similar
to get a flavor similar to that of the german Rieslings?

If so .. how much do I use?

I got this idea from the recipes I used when making wine from concentrates
and they included a bag of the elderberry flowers.

Am I away off base here ..or will this idea work?

The above e-mail address is full of spam so I use .
I would prefer a reply on here for everyone's benefit .... Best regards
and cheers
