(−)-α-Terpineol synthase (EC 4.2.3.111) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (−)-α-terpineol-forming].[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (−)-α-terpineol + diphosphate

The enzyme has been characterized from Vitis vinifera (grape).
