The white grape variety is a new cross between Riesling x Muscat St. Laurent. The cross was made by the French breeder Christian Oberlin (1831-1915) in Colmar (Alsace, France). Incidentally, the same parents also produced the varieties Bouquetriesling, Diamantmuskat, Edelmuskat, Feinriesling, Firnriesling, Marienriesling, Muscat de la Republique, Muscat Dore de Semis, Muskatblume, Muskatbouquet, Muskatduft and Muskatriesling. No stocks were recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
