Schiller wine

A wine from the German wine-growing region of Württemberg with a pale to light red colour. There are various versions of the meaning of the name. Allegedly, the name refers to the poet prince Friedrich von Schiller (1759-1805), who was born in Marbach in Swabia. However, the name was already in use centuries before Schiller's lifetime. It is probably derived from the iridescent colour. The wine must be produced from a grape or mash mixture of freely usable red and white varieties from Württemberg.

Protected term

In Germany, it belongs to the Rotling group, but may not be labelled as rosé. The designation may also be used for a quality sparkling wine or quality semi-sparkling wine if these products are only made from wine from the Württemberg wine-growing region. According to EU regulations, this is a name-protected, traditional term that fulfils the conditions of a quality wine(PDO).
