Aromatic, fruity whites with a pale golden robe, an airy palate with preserved acidity, and signature aromas of peach, apricot, white flowers and light mineral notes. Also crafted as botrytised sweet wines (Spätlese, Auslese). Grown in Germany, Canada and British Columbia for dry and sweet whites, it ripens earlier than Riesling. A German white grape bred in 1929 at Geisenheim (Riesling × Knipperlé).
