Rieslaner is a breed cross of the Silvaner and Riesling grape that was first bred in Veitshöcheim Franconia Germany in 1921 by the grape breeder August Ziegler. It is a late ripening grape that is fairly high in acidity. Today it is mostly grown in the Franconia (Franken) region and in the Palatinate (Pfalz) region where the grape is often affected by botrytis.
