It is the most productive variety in Alsace, and probably one of the best. It produces well-balanced, fruity wines with a good alcohol content. In German-speaking countries it is called Weissburgunder. In Austria it is the raw material for full-bodied wines, including heavenly rich onion selections. In southern Germany and Upper Adige it is valued for dry white wines with a rich extract. The fruit contains little acidity and flavour, so these wines should be drunk young.
