Septimer

The white grape variety is a new breed between Red Traminer (Gewürztraminer) x Müller-Thurgau, which was confirmed by DNA analyses conducted in 2013. However, this is based on only 19 DNA markers (see Molecular Genetics). From the same parent pair, the varieties Perle and Würzer were also created. The crossing took place in 1927 by Georg Scheu (1879-1949) at the State Institute for Grape Breeding in Alzey (Rhineland-Palatinate). The vine produces spicy, rather low-acid wines. Due to its special aromatic properties, it is referred to as a bouquet variety. In 2018, one hectare was recorded in the German growing region Rheinhessen.
