Siegerrebe

'Victory vine') is a white wine grape that is grown primarily in Germany with some plantings in England, Vancouver Island,[1] Washington state,[2] British Columbia's North Okanagan and Fraser Valley[3] and Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley along with a small planting in Tasmania, Australia at Every Man and His Dog Vineyard,[4] and another in the Finger Lakes AVA in New York State.

[5] Siegerrebe was created by German viticulturalist Dr. Georg Scheu (1879–1949) in 1929 at a grape-breeding institute in Alzey in Rheinhessen, by crossing Madeleine Angevine and Gewürztraminer.

[8] In Belgium, it is authorised for all still wine AOCs : Côtes de Sambre et Meuse,[9] Hageland,[10] Haspengouw,[11] et Heuvelland.

[12] The vine is suited to colder climates as bud-burst is late and fruit ripening is very early however due to these traits bird depredation is serious and attack by wasps can be a problem.

The vines are fruitful and vigor is low with grape bunches being large, red in colour and loosely packed.
