Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.
High-altitude Queensland region (600-1,300 m), among the country's highest vineyards on granitic soils.

Firm Cabernet, ample Chardonnay. "Strange Birds" alternative speciality: saline Albariño, dense Saperavi, floral Fiano, smoky Pinotage.
