The story
Dr. Scheu
Mystery DNA
Frost fighter
In 1916, Dr. Georg Scheu was tinkering away in Rheinhessen, hoping to create a superstar that could survive frosts and taste amazing. He crossed Riesling with a mystery partner - long thought to be Silvaner - but DNA testing later revealed the dad was actually the aromatic Bukettraube. It took decades to catch on, but now Scheurebe is celebrated as a misunderstood aromatic genius that survived its awkward phase.
