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.
South-eastern US state with a hot humid subtropical climate hostile to vinifera. Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) signature as resistant native grape: soft, exotic wines with notes of musky grape, plum, banana, tropical fruits and a "foxy" touch, round sugar and moderate alcohol — Carlos, Noble and Welder as flagship varieties. Hybrids Blanc du Bois (floral, citrus, honey) and Stover developed at the University of Florida. Fruit wines in complement.
