Lively and fruity whites with a pale golden colour, a light palate with preserved acidity and signature aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers, white-fleshed fruits (green apple) and light mineral notes. Close to Riesling without matching its finesse. Grown on small surfaces in Germany and Madeira for dry whites and sparkling base wines. German white variety obtained in 1939 at Geisenheim by Helmut Becker (Riesling × Riesling), late-ripening and productive.
