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 DOP of Dobrogea (southeast) between the Danube, Delta and Macin mountains, limestone soils on basalt substrate, temperate continental and windy climate.

Floral Feteasca Alba and Aligote in fresh whites, supple Babeasca Neagra in light red. Merlot and Cabernet as complement.
