Selection by grape variety

Bacchus

Origin: Pfalz / Germany
Pedigree: In 1933 the variety was bred in the Pfalz from a cross between Riesling & Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau.

Blauer Silvaner

Origin: unknown
Pedigree: At present it is still unclear whether the blue Silvaner is the original form of the Silvaner grapevine and whether the red and green Silvaners developed from it (albino forms). But the assumption is obvious.

Chardonnay

Origin: probably Burgundy, France
descent: natural cross between Burgundy x Heunisch

Grauburgunder

Origin: probably France
Descent: mutation of the variety Blue Burgundy. The Pinot Gris is also known as Pinot Gris or Ruländer.

Grüner Veltliner

Origin: probably Lower Austria / Austria
Pedigree: Besides Traminer, the second parent variety was found in St. Georgen in Burgenland. This grape variety was named after the place where it was found in St. Georgen, because genetic tests did not allow to assign it to any known grape variety. The Grüner Veltliner is not related to the Roter and Frühroter Veltliner.

Kerner

Origin: "State Teaching and Research Institute for Viticulture and Fruit Growing" in Weinsberg / Germany
Pedigree: The vine variety "Kerner" was created in 1929 by crossing red Trollinger and white Riesling.

Muskateller

Origin: The Muscat grape variety probably originates from the Mediterranean region. It is one of the oldest grape varieties in the world and was probably brought to Europe by Greeks and spread here by the Romans in the Empire.
Tip: Dry Muscat wines are excellent with roasted poultry.

Müller-Thurgau

Origin: Research Institute Geisenheim / Germany
Pedigree: New variety from Riesling & Chasselas de Courtillier. This grape variety was bred in 1882 by the Swiss botanist Hermann Müller from the canton of Thurgau in Geisenheim.

Riesling

Origin: Rhein area / Germany
Pedigree: Natural cross between White Heunisch x Frankish variety (Traminer-Sämling). Red Riesling is a red-grape variety, a bud mutation from White Riesling. The White Riesling is not related to the Welschriesling .

Rotgipfler

Origin: probably Thermenregion, Austria
Pedigree: Natural cross between Traminer & Roter Veltliner

Sauvignon

Origin: France, Loire Valley
Pedigree: Sauvignon Blanc is a cross between Traminer and Chenin Blanc.

Silvaner

Origin: Austria
Pedigree: Natural crossing of Traminer & Austrian White. Österreichisch Weiß is related to the grape variety Heunisch, which like Traminer is close to the wild vines.

Scheurebe

Origin: Germany, 1916, State Institute for Vine Breeding in Alzey
Ancestry: The Scheurebe - a cross between the Riesling and the Bukettrebe - is almost as demanding as the Riesling in terms of location. It tolerates reasonably dry, poor soils, copes well with loess soils and with calcareous soils.

Traminer

Origin: South-East Europe is assumed to be the area of origin.
Pedigree: The grape variety has developed from the crossing of wild vines. The Traminer is one of the oldest European grape varieties.

Weißburgunder

Origin: probably Burgundy, France
Descent: mutation of the Pinot Gris
