Scheurebe

Riesling x bouquet screw

Named after Georg Scheu and by him in 1916 for the first time grown grape Scheurebe is a cross of Riesling and the bouquet screw. The original details of Georg Scheu, if it were a cross of Riesling and Sylvaner, could be disproved in the meantime by DNA analysis. When fully ripe can be produced from their grapes white wine with subtle and racy flavor, reminiscent of blackcurrant and grapefruit.

The wines from the Scheurebe are often also expanded edelsüß or Eiswein.

Today is the National Institute for Grapevine Breeding in Alzey - the former workplace of Georg Scheu - after the plant variety protection in the now "free " variety Scheurebe registered as a conservation breeder at the Federal Office of Plant Varieties.

The ancestry question the vine turned again after the first genetic studies. The Riesling was quickly taken as a parent, as a second vine but was, according to Dr. Regner in Klosterneuburg Silvaner excluded. While sprinkler clues pursued on a now- lost wild grape, Myles identified in 2011 the bouquet screw as crossing partners.
