The prolific Rheinhessen grape breeder Georg Scheu crossed Weissburgunder with
Müller-Thurgau in 1929 to produce this early-ripening white variety. With sufficient
ripeness, the Faberrebe can produce elegant, refreshing wines with a light Muscat tone and,
usually, more acidity than Müller-Thurgau or Silvaner. The majority of plantings are in the
Rheinhessen, Pfalz and Nahe regions.
