Delicate and fine muscat whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, on intense and refined aromas of orange blossom, rose, fresh grape, citrus, white peach and airy muscat (more subtle than Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). 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.
Hungary's largest wine region (~20,365 ha) on the sandy Great Plain — soils that prevent phylloxera, ungrafted vines.

Fleshy Kékfrankos (blackberry, pepper), fruity Zweigelt, peppery Cabernet Franc. Bright Olaszrizling, taut Ezerjó, floral Kövidinka in whites.
