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.

The wine region of Rheinhessen

71% white region: Riesling is king (5,000 ha), dry to off-dry, ripe yellow fruit, apple, citrus and fine saline minerality. Supple, floral Müller-Thurgau for everyday, the world's largest Silvaner plantation with herbaceous, straight notes. Historic cradle of off-sweet Liebfraumilch. Some supple reds (Dornfelder, Spätburgunder).

The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness

A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
