Crystalline, taut whites with vibrant acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, vineyard peach and mineral/petrol notes with age. Made as dry (Trocken, Alsace), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, late harvest). Star of the Moselle, Rheingau, Alsace AOC and Wachau. Also exported to Clare Valley and Finger Lakes.
Tasmania's most important wine region in the north (from Launceston to Bass Strait), cool maritime climate, iron-rich soils. Pinot Noir the signature red: fine and expressive with cherry, raspberry, truffle and spice — juicy downstream, more complex upstream. Traditional-method sparkling wines on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier rivalling Champagne. Mineral and nervy Chardonnay.
