Scheurebe of Schweigen — Profile, Food Pairings & Best Wines | Winedexer
Discover the best wines made with Scheurebe as a single variety or as a blend of Schweigen.
Aromatic, structured whites with lively acidity and a round mouth, featuring intense aromas of pink grapefruit, blackcurrant, passion fruit, white flowers and muscat notes. Made as aromatic dry wines (Trocken), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and especially sumptuous botrytised sweet wines (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese). Grown in Germany (Rheinhessen, Palatinate) and Austria. Created in 1916 by Georg Scheu in Alzey, a Riesling × Bukettrebe cross.
Southernmost village of the Palatinate on the French border (Bad Bergzabern), famous Sonnenberg (VDP Grosse Lage) straddling the border, sunny limestone soils. Riesling is the signature king white — taut and balanced with stone fruit, citrus, baked apple and a mineral limestone touch, racy acidity and ageing potential. Spätburgunder as fine and silky king red with red fruits, forest floor and refined tannins (Friedrich Becker estate). Ample Weißburgunder.
