Scheurebe

Scheurebe (pronounced "shoy ray beh") is another new crossing that is well established in a number of regions. Bred in 1916 in Rheinhessen and named after its breeder, Georg Scheu, it is a crossing of Silvaner and Riesling. 

Scheurebe ripens in early October, but the late-harvested wines of this grape are those that are treasured most. Scheurebe wines have full body, pronounced acidity and a bouquet and taste reminiscent of blackcurrants. Scheurebe is most widely planted in the Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Nahe regions.
