Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj). Created in the 19th century by Robert Moreau (Angers), a cross of Chasselas × Muscat de Saumur.

Olaszrizling (Welschriesling), aromatic Cserszegi Fűszeres, Kövidinka and Riesling as fresh whites with citrus, white flowers and a honeyed hint.
