Gutenborner

Gutenborner is a light-skinned white grape variety that was created in 1928 through the crossing of Müller-Thurgau and Bicane (Chasselas Napoléon) at Geisenheim, Germany. Known for its ability to ripen in cooler climates, it is primarily grown in small quantities in Germany’s Mosel and Rheingau regions and has found popularity in the United Kingdom.

Wines made from Gutenborner are fresh, crisp, and light, though often considered neutral in flavor. The variety is known for producing clean, refreshing wines that showcase a subtle, uncomplicated profile.

Gutenborner is cultivated in small quantities, particularly in Germany's Mosel and Rheingau regions, and has gained traction in the United Kingdom where it thrives in cooler climates.

Gutenborner’s parentage, combining Müller-Thurgau and Bicane, makes it well-suited to cooler growing conditions, where it ripens reliably despite less warmth.
