Ehrenfelser
[EHR-en-fehl-zuhr]
A good-quality, white-wine, HYBRID grape developed at GEISENHEIM, Germany in the 1920s. Ehrenfelser is a CROSS of RIESLING and SYLVANER that—except for its lower ACID levels—closely resembles Riesling. It has some advantages over Riesling in that Ehrenfelser grows in less desirable locations and ripens earlier, which makes it increasingly popular in some of Germany’s northern growing regions.
