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.
Smallest of Slovenia's three major regions (southeast, bordering Croatia), limestone sandstone and dolomite soils, continental climate softened by Alps and Adriatic. Unique Cviček signature as light pale red (8. 5-10%, blend of at least 4 red and white varieties): tart and quenching with cherry, raspberry, citrus and herbaceous hint — typical everyday wine. Spicy Modra Frankinja and supple Žametovka in reds, lively Welschriesling in whites.
