The white grape variety is a new cross between Riesling x Courtiller Musqué Précoce (Muscat Précoce de Saumur). The cross was made by the breeder Christian Oberlin (1831-1915) in Colmar (Alsace, France). The same parents also gave rise to the Aromriesling varieties. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
