Staufer (grape variety)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Staufer is a white wine variety . It is an interspecific new breed ( hybrid vine ) between Bacchus x Villard Blanc . The name is derived from the Staufer gender . The name Silva was originally intended. However, this name was given up because of the risk of confusion with the name of the Silvaner . The crossing was made by Gerhardt Alleweldt at the Institute for Vine Breeding Geilweilerhof in Siebeldingen . The variety was awarded in 1994 the plant variety and in the same year the company was entered into the variety list .

Staufer is more sensitive to frost than Riesling and has good resistance to powdery mildew ( downy mildew and powdery mildew ). Economically insignificant, there are around three hectares of vineyards in Germany (as of 2001). The wine is strong and from neutral to fruity, of the type between Silvaner and Riesling.
