Wines made from Cabernet blanc grapes of Luxembourg
Discover the best wines made with Cabernet blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Luxembourg.
Interspecific cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and a long-unknown grape variety - that would be Regent - obtained in 1991 by Valentin Blattner from Soyhières (Switzerland) and propagated by Volker Freytag (Germany). No resistance gene has been identified to either mildew or powdery mildew. Cabernet blanc can be found in Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Italy, England, etc., but is still little known in France.
Luxembourg (officially the "Grand Duchy of Luxembourg") is a landlocked country at the junction of Belgium, Germany and France. It is a small country compared to its neighbours, stretching 80 km from North to South and 50 km from west to east, covering just over 2,500 square kilometres. Only 1% of this area is devoted to wine growing. Located in the north of Western Europe, it is one of the coolest wine regions in the world.
