Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Croatia's smallest wine region in the northern Mesopotamia (~300 m altitude between Drava and Mura rivers, rounded hilltops, rich mineral soils, coolest climate in the country with moderate summers and winters suited to ice wine, quality renaissance by young generation): Pušipel is the autochthonous local white signature — light and crunchy with taut, easy-drinking acidity. Sauvignon Blanc, Graševina, Riesling, Muscat, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay as lively whites, Pinot Noir as red.
