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.
World capital of Graševina in Croatian Slavonia (Požega-Slavonia), ~800 ha on clay hills, cool continental climate. Country's oldest cellar built by Cistercians in 1232. Signature Graševina as white king (22% of national vineyard): taut and slightly aromatic with notes of green apple, citrus, pear, almond, white flowers and honeyed touch, dry thirst-quenching palate. Floral Traminac, ample Chardonnay.
