Description
Montrachet under its newer name — the first wine strain the University of California at Davis selected, and the one to reach for when there is no temperature control. Medium-paced, good to 15 % alcohol, tolerant of heavy sulphite, and very low in volatile acidity, so a cider or mead keeps its own fruit character.
