Aromatic, structured whites with a full palate and firm acidity, showing aromas of yellow fruits (peach, apricot), citrus, white flowers, honey and mineral notes reminiscent of Riesling. Refreshing. Mildew- and powdery-mildew-resistant interspecific variety, a driver of organic viticulture in northern regions: Germany (Baden), Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, UK and Denmark. German hybrid created in 1968 in Freiburg (Riesling × Seyve-Villard).
Fleshy, dry, fruity Riesling is the region's signature: yellow peach, apricot, ripe citrus, lovely mineral tension. Germany's largest red-wine area (40%), with silky Spätburgunder showing red fruit and spice, darker structured Dornfelder, supple Portugieser. Some rounded Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. A 23,640 ha vineyard along the Haardt, among Germany's warmest (>2,000 h of sun).
