This is what good wine from the Fendant grape tastes like

The Fendant grape produces soft white wines. Fairly neutral in flavor, with not too much acidity. Not spectacular, but pleasant. These wines are usually enjoyed young. Fendant is the Swiss name. In Germany, they call it Gutedel. The French prefer to call it Chasselas.

The Fendant grape grows in France—primarily in the Loire Valley and Savoie—in Germany—primarily in Baden—and throughout Switzerland. Not long ago, it became clear that the Fendant had been crossed with the Riesling to create the Müller-thurgau. This grape was created in 1882 by the Swiss Herman Müller from the Swiss canton of Thurgau. Müller himself believed he had crossed the Silvaner with the Riesling. Hence, this grape was long called Rivaner. A historical error, then: it was indeed the Fendant.
