The white grape variety (breeding no. WE 69-607-42) is a new breeding between Sauvignon Blanc x Riesling. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the two varieties Sauvignon Gryn and Sauvignon Sary. The crossing took place in 1969 at the Staatliche Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Weinsberg in Württemberg. The variety protection was granted in 2013. The medium to late ripening vine produces fruity, strong white wines similar to Sauvignon Blanc with a pronounced citrus note. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
