List of grape varieties

The white wine variety Mariensteiner is a new breed from the Silvaner × Müller-Thurgau varieties.

The original information from the breeder that it was a cross between Silvaner and Rieslaner could be refuted by the DNA analysis published in 2012. It was created in 1951 by Hans Breider at the Bavarian State Research Center for Viticulture and Horticulture in Würzburg crossed . In 1971 the variety was protected and entered in the variety list. Its name was created based on the Marienberg fortress high above Würzburg and the top location Würzburger Stein on the other side of the Main. The variety is grown almost exclusively in the German Franconian growing area . While the planted area under vines in Germany was 9 hectares in 1999, it was only 2 hectares in 2013.

The late-ripening variety has high location requirements. It is susceptible to powdery mildew (Oidium), but hardly susceptible to gray mold rot (Botrytis cinerea). It also tolerates lime to a high degree .

The often acidic (→ acid (wine) ), delicately fruity and classy wine pressed from it has a rather restrained bouquet of varieties .
