Crisp, light dry whites with a pale robe, slender palate and cutting acidity, showing delicate aromas of lemon, green apple, white flowers, fresh-cut grass and mineral, slaty notes. Often vinified as sparkling (Sekt, Crémant) where its nerviness shines. Star of the Luxembourg Upper Moselle schist slopes (Elbling AOP) and the upper German Mosel. Very old Germanic variety, probably introduced by the Romans.
