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.
Brazilian southeast state (south of Belo Horizonte), altitude vineyards between 800 and 1,000 m (Caldas, Andradas), pioneer of double-pruning allowing winter harvest — dry season with mild temperatures. Signature Syrah as red king: deep and spicy with blackberry, black cherry, violet, black pepper, smoked bacon and floral touch, firm tannins — comparable to modern Rhones. Vivid and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc (grapefruit, boxwood).
