The Scheurebe is an important grape variety in Germany and is mainly cultivated in the wine-growing regions of Palatinate, Rheinhessen and Nahe. The variety is known for its excellent aromas and is often referred to as an "aroma variety". Scheurebe is often made as a late harvest or selection and can have a high residual sugar content. Both dry and sweet Scheurebe wines are produced, with the sweet variants often being served as dessert wines or as an accompaniment to hot or spicy dishes due to the high sugar content and intense aromas.
