Winning vine
The Siegerrebe is a white wine , the berries of which are slightly reddish. It is a new breed that arose from a cross between Madeleine Angevine and Gewürztraminer from 1929 . In the meantime, the information about the crossing parents has been confirmed by DNA analysis. The breeder was the Alzeyer State Institute for Vine Breeding Dr. Georg Scheu (known for the Scheurebe named after him ). 1958 was plant variety rights granted and it was in the list of varieties entered. According to Georg Scheu's original information, the variety originated from a freely withered mother plant of the Madeleine Angevine variety.
The very early ripening vigorous variety, which can reach quite high must weights (approx. 15 degrees Öchsle more than standard varieties such as Riesling ), is mainly grown in Rheinhessen and the Palatinate . In 1971 the Emil Bauer winery in the Palatinate harvested berries from the winning vine with a must weight of 326 degrees Oechsle. This must weight was the highest ever measured in Germany until the 2003 vintage.
In 2007, 108 hectares were planted with grape vines in Germany. In 2006, 110 hectares of arable land were still planted, after 167 hectares were surveyed in 1999. It can be harvested almost 10 days before the Gutedel ripens early and is therefore also used in countries with an unfavorable climate. The winning vine is therefore also approved in Belgium and England . Smallest stocks are also known in Switzerland (0.08 hectares, status 2009, source: Office fédéral de l'agriculture OFAG).
Especially in early autumn, Federweißer is made from early ripening grape varieties such as Bacchus , Ortega or Siegerrebe.
The white wine has a moderately strong acidity (→ acidity (wine) ), which is usually 2-3 per mille below the values of Müller-Thurgau . The yields are between 40 and 80 hectoliters / hectare and are therefore moderately high. In general, however: if the vine is not cut back (→ Training system ), there is a risk too high yields with the concomitant reduction in quality. Siegerrebe is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
The winning vine also served as the basis for other new varieties, such as the Ortega . It is suitable for aromatic brandies and is popular as a wine for blue cheese .
