More informations about the variety Scheurebe
German grape variety obtained in 1916 by Georg Shere (1879/1949).

The Scheurebe can be found in Austria, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia, Great Britain, the United States (California, Virginia, ...), Canada (Ontario, British Columbia, ...), ... practically unknown in France.
