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).
Germany's northernmost region (Saxony-Anhalt), ~650 ha. Nordic whites that are dry, lively and mineral with signature notes of green apple, citrus, white flowers, fresh herbs and a crisp finish — a direct, thirst-quenching style. Dominant Muller-Thurgau (~22%) light and floral, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) round and precise, herbaceous Silvaner and taut Riesling. Early grapes suited to the harsh continental climate.
