The white grape variety is a new variety between Riesling x Madeleine Royale. Some synonyms refer to the parentage Riesling x Sylvaner, which was wrongly assumed for a long time. Within the EU, names such as Riesling-Sylvaner, for example, are no longer permitted. The most important are Müller, Müller-Thurgau Rebe, Müller Thurgau Weiß, Weißer Müller-Thurgau (Germany); Müller-Thurgau Blanc (France); Uva di Lauria (Italy); Riesling-Silvaner, Riesling x Silvaner, Riesling-Sylvaner (New Zealand, Switzerland); Rivaner (Austria, Luxembourg), Rizlingszilvani (Hungary), Rizvanac, Müller-Thurgau Bijeli, Rizvanac Bijeli (Croatia); Rizanec, Rizvanec (Slovenia); Muller Thurgau White (USA).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
