white grape

Scheurebe

Cool German vineyards; late-ripening, intense aromatics.

Known as: Scheurebe, Sämling 88

Scheurebe is a German elite cross born in 1916, prized for intense aromatics reminiscent of blackcurrant bud and grapefruit.

It inherits superb acidity from its Riesling parent, making piercingly fresh dry wines and superb sweet Spätlese and Trockenbeerenauslese.

For the buyer, Scheurebe is aromatic curiosity — love it or leave it, but never bland.
