Faberrebe

The white grape variety is a new breed between Chardonnay x Müller-Thurgau. According to DNA analyses conducted in 2013, the Pinot Blanc indicated in the breeding list as the mother variety has proven to be incorrect. Synonyms or breeding numbers are Alzey 10375, AZ 10375, Faber, and S. 10375. The crossing took place in 1929 by the breeder Georg Scheu (1879-1949) at the State Institute for Grape Breeding in Alzey (Rhineland-Palatinate). The variety protection was granted in 1967. The early ripening, high-yielding vine produces golden-yellow wines with pronounced acidity and subtle muscat tone. In 2008, an initiative "Relaunch F" was started by some wineries to give the increasingly forgotten Faberrebe a new image and revive it. In 2018, however, only 270 hectares of vineyard area were recorded in Germany, with a continuing strong downward trend.
