Fontanara

The white grape variety (also Würzburg B 51-4-10) is a new breed between Rieslaner x Müller-Thurgau, which was confirmed by DNA analyses published in 2012. The crossing took place in 1951 by Dr. Hans Breider (1908-2000) at the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture in Würzburg. By the way, the two new breeds Albalonga and Montagna also originated from the same parents. The varietal protection was granted in 1979. The name means "Fresh spring" and refers to the fresh, lively taste of the Riesling-like white wines. In 2016, one hectare of vineyard area was designated in Germany (Franconia) (Kym Anderson).
