Widely planted in Germany (Rheinhessen, Baden), northern Italy (Alto Adige, Trentino), Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Japan. Cross of riesling × madeleine royale created in 1882 by Hermann Müller in Geisenheim.
Vast Alpine zone of western Austria (Carinthia, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg), cool climate tempered by the Atlantic, vines confined to sheltered south-facing slopes (~125 ha).

Aromatic Müller-Thurgau, spicy Frühroter Veltliner and full Pinot Gris as complements. Light Blauer Portugieser in reds.
