The German Elbling grape produces crisp white wines with fine acidity. They are not very alcoholic and quite light. They are best suited for making sparkling wines.
Although Elbling may be relatively unknown, it is one of the oldest German grape varieties. As early as the Middle Ages, Elbling was already planted in the Rhine Valley. By the early nineteenth century, it must have accounted for three-quarters of all German vineyards. From there, it spread via the French Alsace to Switzerland. This is certainly no longer the case. Elbling has become quite obscure in our eastern neighbors. It is still found sparsely, mainly in the Moselle. You'll find it more often on the other side of the river, in Luxembourg. It has also almost disappeared in northern France and Switzerland.
We currently have one wine made from the Elbling grape in our range. You can view our Elbling wine here.
