Richly coloured and structured reds with a deep purple colour and supple tannins, on aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, spices and discreet herbal notes. Round palate, fruity finish. A disease-resistant hybrid (downy and powdery mildew), it produces modern organic reds in Germany (Rheinhessen, Palatinate), Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. Created in 1967 at Geilweilerhof by Gerhardt Alleweldt.
Michigan AVA on a peninsula between Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay (45 deg N, latitude of Bordeaux). Riesling reigns as a white star: taut and aromatic with signature notes of white apple, peach, lemon, white flowers and a mineral touch, lively and long palate — from dry to medium-sweet to ice wine. Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose). Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and Gamay emerging.
