Cross of
Pinot Noir × Pirovano 1

List of grape varieties

Schönburger is a white wine with pink berries. The variety brings floral-spicy wines that are somewhat reminiscent of Traminer .

ancestry

The parents of this cross are Spätburgunder (Pinot noir) and the Pirovano 1 grape , which is hardly known in Germany , which in turn constitutes a cross between red Gutedel (Chasselas rose) and Muscat de Hambourg by the Italian breeder Alberto Piròvano from 1892. Heinrich Birk carried out this new breed in 1939 at the Geisenheim Research Station in the Rheingau . The vine received plant variety protection in 1979 and was entered in the list of varieties a year later . The originally planned name Rosa Muskat was rejected by the Bundessortenamt . The information provided by the breeder about the parents of the cross has been confirmed by DNA analysis in the meantime.

Below the Schönburg in Oberwesel you can find the wine in the vineyard of the Persch winery. When giving the name, Heinrich Birk wanted to draw attention to the fact that wine should be at home in the triangle between the Middle Rhine , Nahe , Palatinate and Rheinhessen . In fact, around 21 hectares are planted with this vine in these areas today.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It has thickly woolly to white woolly tomentose hair. The young leaves are only slightly hairy.
  • The medium-sized, dark green leaves are five-lobed and indented to a medium depth. The stalk bay is V-shaped, open to closed, but rarely overlapping. The sheet is serrated to a point. The teeth are set medium-wide compared to other grape varieties. The leaf surface (also called blade) is slightly blistered and coarse.
  • The cone-shaped grape is small to medium-sized, mostly winged and loose berries. The slightly oval berries are medium-sized and pink in color. The berries have a rough berry skin and have a light nutmeg note in the taste.

The grape variety ripens almost at the same time as the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen early in an international comparison. It is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting.

The variety is hardly susceptible to powdery mildew , downy mildew and gray mold rot .

The wine is more successful in southern England (Somerset and Kent); here it takes up twice the cultivated area. The vine is also found in Brazil, Italy, Canada and the Czech Republic. The medium-strong growing vine needs sheltered, sunny locations. It is still sufficiently frost-resistant.

Wine

The white wines are flowery and spicy, somewhat reminiscent of Traminer . Associations with "rose scent" and "nutmeg" are also described.
