List of grape varieties

The Huxelrebe is a white wine variety that produces berries that are sensitive to both weather and disease. The crossing took place in 1927 at the State Institute for Vine Breeding in Alzey by Georg Scheu from Elbling and Coutillier Musqué . The breeder's original information that it was a cross of Gutedel and Muscat précoce de Saumur has since been refuted by a DNA analysis. The vine is almost exclusively native to Germany . The new breed got its name from Fritz Huxel , who was the first to grow it extensively in Westhofen (Rheinhessen) in the 1950s . The Plant Variety Protection was granted 1968th Because of its early ripeness, smaller stocks are known in England.

It can produce very high quality wines , primarily sweet wines as an aperitif or dessert wines .

distribution

In 2007, 656 hectares (0.6% of the German vineyard area) were planted with the Huxelrebe grape variety in Germany . The area has been declining for several years. In 2006, 677 hectares of cultivated area were still planted, after at least 1289 hectares were surveyed in 1999.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is very hairy with white wool.
  • The large to very large leaves (see also the article leaf shape ) are rounded, three-lobed to slightly five-lobed. The stem bay is V-shaped open to overlapping closed. The leaf margin is roughly serrated. Compared to other grape varieties, the teeth are set wide. The leaf surface (also called blade) near the stalk bay is blistered.
  • The slightly conical to cylindrical grape is large, shouldered and with dense berries (depending on the degree of irrigation, also loose berries!). The slightly rounded berries are either large and have seeds or the berries are small and seedless. Pierre Galet therefore suspects that the Huxelrebe only has female flowers, although this is not mentioned in the German-language literature. The berries are golden yellow in color. The juice of the berries is aromatic.

The Huxelrebe sprouts early and does not always avoid late spring frosts. The winter frost resistance is bad. The vigorous variety can produce very good yields. However, it tends to be very tricky . The general rule for the Huxelrebe: If the vine is not pruned correctly (→ Vines ), despite Blühempfindlichkeit the risk of high yields with the concomitant reduction in quality.

It often reaches medium-high must weights . On average, the must weight is up to 15 degrees Oechsle above that of the standard varieties in the German growing regions.

The flowering time is early to medium early. The Huxelrebe ripens 4–5 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen early. The variety is hardly susceptible to downy and powdery mildew . In the event of an infection with the stickworm- transmitted brushwood disease , the crop failure is greater than the average compared to other grape varieties.
