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.
Romanian region on the Dobrogea hills between the Danube and the Black Sea (Murfatlar, Sarica-Niculiţel, Istria-Babadag), reference to Trajan's Wall, temperate continental climate moderated by the sea (~300 sunny days). Signature Chardonnay: full and tense with yellow apple, citrus, honey, white flowers and mineral hints — occasionally historic dessert wine. Floral Pinot Gris, lively Aligoté, Fetească Albă and Regală in whites. Cabernet, Merlot and Pinot Noir in reds.
