Marienstein

The white grape variety is a new breed between Silvaner x Müller-Thurgau, which was determined according to DNA analyses carried out in 2013. The paternity Rieslaner given in the breeding list turned out to be wrong. The name is derived from the Marienberg fortress in Würzburg. By the way, the same parents also produced the new crosses Diana (1) and Gloria. The cross was made in 1951 by Dr. Hans Breider (1908-2000) at the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture in Würzburg, and variety protection was granted in 1971. It produces a yellow-green, delicately fruity wine with a peach aroma. In 2016, three hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
