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.
