An old German grape variety from the Landau (Rheinland-Pfalz) region where it was first mentioned in 1546, Räuschling was once also widespread in Württemberg, Alsace and northern Switzerland. Its name derives from the verb rauschen, referring to the sound of the wind through the dense foliage. The paternity test determined that Räuschling is a natural cross between Gouais and Savagnin, both very common in the Middle Ages in Europe. Today, Räuschling has almost disappeared from its region of origin and is now only found in German-speaking Switzerland (Zürich, St. Gallen and Schwyz). Its wine is light, with a beautiful acidity, inherited without a doubt from its parents, offering delicate notes of lemon.
