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.
Romania's most compact wine massif, south of the Carpathians on the 45th parallel (like Bordeaux). Signature Feteasca Neagra in red: a dense, structured Romanian native with signature notes of ripe plum, blackberry, violet, leather, tobacco and sweet spice, round tannins — a national identity. Also Bordeaux blends (firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot) and fresh Pinot Noir. Peppery Syrah booming.
