Coloured, structured reds with a deep ruby robe, firm tannins and fresh acidity, showing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, pepper, spices, herbs and balsamic notes evoking cabernet sauvignon. Disease-resistant interspecific variety (mildew and powdery mildew), driving force of organic vineyards in northern Europe: Germany, Switzerland, northern Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and UK. German hybrid created in 1982 in Freiburg (cabernet sauvignon × resistant variety solaris).
Flemish AOC of Hesbaye (south-east Flanders, Belgium), sandy-limestone soils (Belgium's "Côte d'Or"), cool temperate climate — ~45% of Flemish sparkling production. Chardonnay is the signature white: dry and taut with green apple, citrus, white flowers, butter and a chalky mineral note, lively acidity — a northern Burgundian style. Spiced Pinot Gris and full Pinot Blanc among the whites. Fine Pinot Noir as red.
