Reichensteiner
Reichensteiner[edit | edit source]
Reichensteiner is a white grape variety that is primarily grown in Germany, England, and New Zealand. It is known for its high yields and its ability to ripen in cooler climates. The grape is often used in the production of white wines, both varietal and blends, and is also used in the production of sparkling wines.
History[edit | edit source]
The Reichensteiner grape was first bred in 1939 in Germany by Heinrich Birk at the Geisenheim Grape Breeding Institute. It is a cross between the Müller-Thurgau and Madeleine Angevine grapes. The grape was named after the town of Reichenstein in the Rheingau region of Germany.
Viticulture[edit | edit source]
Reichensteiner is a high-yielding grape variety that can thrive in cooler climates. It is resistant to many common grape diseases, making it a popular choice for growers in regions with challenging weather conditions. The grape is harvested late in the season, which allows it to develop a high sugar content.
Wine Production[edit | edit source]
Reichensteiner is used in the production of a variety of white wines. It is often blended with other grape varieties to add sweetness and body to the wine. In addition to still wines, Reichensteiner is also used in the production of sparkling wines. The high sugar content of the grape makes it ideal for this type of wine production.
Regions[edit | edit source]
Reichensteiner is grown in several wine-producing regions around the world. In Germany, it is grown in the Rheingau and Mosel regions. In England, it is grown in the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire. In New Zealand, it is grown in the Marlborough region.
