Cool to moderate climate, Old World characteristics. Possible varieties include Albarinho, Gruner, Garganega and (possibly) unoaked, no MLF Chardonnay. Not really elegant enough to be a Chablis, not aromatic or complex enough to be an Albarinho and not enough minerality and smoke to be a Soave Classico.
