Muscat-scented, structured whites with a golden robe, full palate and firm acidity. Intense aromas of rose, lychee, white flowers, yellow fruits (peach, apricot), honey and soft spices reminiscent of Gewürztraminer. Produced as dry, off-dry and sweet styles. Aromatic flagship of the American north-east (Indiana — the state's signature variety —, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania) and Canada. Hybrid created in 1965 by Cornell University (Joannes Seyve 23.416 × Gewürztraminer).
Heart of the Yadkin Valley AVA (2003), first AVA of North Carolina on the northwest hills of the state. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the signature reds with blackcurrant, plum, black cherry and a herbaceous touch, balanced tannins. Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petit Verdot add structure. Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc offer aromatic whites.
