π Scheurebe
A white grape bred in Germany in 1916; it makes aromatic dry and sweet wines.
Scheurebe is a white grape variety bred in Germany in 1916. It was created by the breeder Georg Scheu, after whom it is named. Its parents are Riesling and Bukettraube. For a long time Silvaner was thought to be the other parent, but genetic tests showed otherwise.
The grape gives aromatic wines, with grapefruit, blackcurrant and peach notes and fresh acidity. Dry, off-dry and sweet wines are made from it, including late harvest. It does well where Riesling does not always ripen. It is grown in Rheinhessen and the Pfalz in Germany and also in the Austrian region of Burgenland, where it is used for sweet wines.
Scheurebe belongs to German wine and is seen as one of the country's most successful new varieties. It is less famous than Riesling but has fans among those who like aromatic whites. It pairs well with Asian cuisine and spicy dishes. In Austria it is also known as SΓ€mling 88.
