Blauer Silvaner

The grape variety originates from Germany. It is a white wine variety, which is why the name is misleading. The multi-layered berry colour ranges from grey, pink, red to violet, but the depth of colour is not sufficient for pressing a red wine. It is probably a colour mutation of the Silvaner variety (Grüner Silvaner and Roter Silvaner). The Franconian winegrower Johann Kaspar Steinmann ( Schloss Sommerhausen winery) discovered a vine of Blauer Silvaner in a vineyard in 1964. After many selections, 12 years later he submitted a clone to the Federal Office of Plant Varieties for registration testing. The variety Blauer Silvaner ST25 was entered in the list of varieties as a yielding variety in 1984. This special clone is the property of vine nursery Steinmann (conservation breeder).
