Scheurebe (pronounced "shoy ray beh") is another new crossing that is well established in
a number of regions. Bred in 1916 in Rheinhessen and named after its breeder, Georg Scheu, it
is a crossing of Silvaner and Riesling. It ripens in early October, but the late-harvested
wines of this grape are those that are treasured most. The wines have full body, pronounced
acidity and a bouquet and taste reminiscent of black currants. Scheurebe is most widely
planted in the Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Nahe regions.
