Würzer is a white wine variety . Georg Scheu bred this variety in 1932 at the State Institute for Grape Breeding in Alzey from a cross between the Gewürztraminer and Müller-Thurgau grape varieties . The plant variety protection was granted and the entry in the list of varieties took place in 1978. The information provided by the breeder about the parents of the crosses has since been confirmed by DNA analysis.
In 2007, around 67 hectares of vineyards were planted with wort in Germany , after 97 hectares of vineyards were raised in 2001.
The wine is classy, fresh and elegant and has a beautiful nutmeg bouquet. The term wort is an indication of its spicy nature. A disadvantage is its sensitivity to frost and chlorosis . Wort 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 Septimer variety emerged from the same breeding series and the same pair of parents .
