The white grape variety (also Alzey 46-12, Aurea) is a new breed between Müller-Thurgau x Riesling, from which the name was derived. The crossbreeding was done by Georg Scheu (1879-1949) at the Landesanstalt für Rebenzüchtung in Alzey (Rhineland). In 2016 no stock was shown (Kym Anderson).

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.
