This white grape variety (also known as Schantltraube) is a new cross between Müller-Thurgau x Ruländer (Pinot Gris). The cross was made by David Schantl around 1976 at the Viticulture Institute Silberberg (Styria, Austria). It produces a fruity white wine. The variety is cultivated in small quantities in Austria. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
