🍇 Goldriesling
A white wine grape bred in 1893 by Christian Oberlin, a Riesling crossing; in Saxony it covers 28 ha (2022).
Goldriesling is a white wine grape variety, a crossing made in 1893 by Christian Oberlin at the Institut Viticole Oberlin. VIVC (passport 4884) gives France as its country of origin, white as the berry colour and Vitis vinifera subsp. sativa as the species. The name means "golden Riesling".
The breeder's own pedigree was Riesling x Courtiller Musqué. VIVC lists Riesling Weiss x Malingre Précoce as the pedigree confirmed by markers. Both versions include Riesling, but the second parent differs: Courtiller Musqué according to the breeder, Malingre Précoce according to the markers.
VIVC records six synonyms: Franzosentraube, Gelbriesling, Goldmuskat, Riesling Doré, Risling Khativ and Risling Zolotistyi. According to VIVC, samples of the variety are kept in 12 collections, and the variety is listed in the European Catalogue. The VIVC page does not state a country of registration.
Germany's Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) publishes vineyard area by variety and by federal state. In its 2022 survey, Goldriesling occupies 28 ha in Saxony, out of 476 ha of wine grapes in the state. Goldriesling is not a kind of Riesling: Riesling is only one of its two parents.
