| List of grape varieties | |
The Scheurebe white wine, named after Georg Scheu and bred by him in 1916 , is a cross between Riesling and bouquet grapes . When fully ripe, their grapes can be used to produce white wine with a subtle and racy aroma reminiscent of black currants and grapefruit . The wines of the Scheurebe are often developed as noble sweet as Auslese , Beerenauslese , Trockenbeerenauslese or as ice wine .
ancestry
The Scheurebe is a cross between Riesling × bouquet grapes .
The original information from Georg Scheu that it was a cross between Riesling and Silvaner has meanwhile been refuted by DNA analysis.
Today the state institute for grapevine breeding in Alzey - the former place of work of Georg Scheu - is registered with the Federal Office of Varieties as a maintenance breeder for the now “free” variety Scheurebe after the plant variety protection expires .
Ampelographic varietal characteristics
- The tip of the shoot is light green and moderately hairy with wool.
- The vines have a strong growth. The wood ripening is completed late.
- The leaves are medium-sized, five-lobed and have an overlapped petiole.
- The grapes are medium-sized, dense berries with green-yellow berries that have a typical nutmeg-like seedling taste.
Maturity: medium late
Yield
The variety delivers medium yields.
Wine
Provided that it is well matured, the variety can deliver full-bodied wines with a pleasant bouquet. It is particularly popular in Franconia above the cabinet quality level . It is considered to be outstanding in the noble sweet area. In addition to the above-mentioned bouquet and taste of black currant, creamy-yellow-orange fruit colors predominate from the Auslese quality level . When processing unripe grape material, however, the so-called “seedling taste” develops clearly and unpleasantly. In extreme cases, a failed Scheurebe can also smell of sweat.
Advantages and disadvantages
advantages
Scheurebe has good resistance to chlorosis . It tolerates drought relatively well and a high lime content in the soil. The leaves are more resistant to frost in autumn than other varieties.
disadvantage
The variety has high location requirements. Unripe grapes provide a coarse, intrusive bouquet. It is susceptible to peronospora , botrytis , oidium and the annual wood is susceptible to winter frost.
distribution
In Austria , where it is grown under the name Scheurebe and Sämling 88, the variety is not very important in terms of area and is declining (350.8 ha in 2015 (→ white grape varieties )), but it does produce some of the outstanding noble sweet wines around Lake Neusiedl and won in southern Styria . In particular, the Scheurebe - Trockenbeerenauslese from Hafner and Kracher have repeatedly won awards in wine competitions around the world.
The vineyards in Germany are spread across the individual growing areas:
| Growing area | Area ha | Proportion of % | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | 1,412 | ||
| Baden-Württemberg | 59 | ||
| Bavaria (Franconia) | 168 | ||
| Hesse | 7th | ||
| Rhineland-Palatinate | 1.1149 | 1.9 | |
| 108 | 2.6 | ||
| 770 | 2.9 | ||
| 354 | 1.5 | ||
| 21st | |||
| Saxony-Anhalt ( Saale-Unstrut ) | 6th |
For some years now, the variety has also been successfully grown in the south of England ( viticulture in the United Kingdom ) on very small areas.
There are also small stocks in Switzerland - 6.75 hectares as of 2015.
