The white grape variety (also Würzburg 48-21-9, Hildegardis) is a new variety between Müller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe. The name was given after the mystic Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179). The cross was made in 1948 by Dr. Hans Breider (1908-2000) at the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture in Würzburg. The Rosabeerige vine is mainly used as table grape.
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.
