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.
Major sub-region of the Thracian Valley (southern Bulgaria, foot of the eastern Rhodopes), temperate continental climate moderated by Mediterranean winds via the Sakar corridor. Merlot is the signature red (reputed Bulgaria's best from old vines): dense and deep with plum, blackberry, black cherry, cocoa and a balsamic touch, round tannins. Mavrud is a robust autochthone, Rubin (Syrah × Nebbiolo) is spicy. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon.
