Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Small to medium, golden, thin-skinned seeded berries; mild and gently sweet.

Moderately vigorous, early ripening, suited to cooler viticultural climates.

Dual use: early table grape and terroir-driven white wine.

Important in Switzerland (Vaud/Valais) and in Baden, Germany (Gutedel).
