NEUBURGER: Minor grape of unknown origin thought by some to be a cross between Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc. Suitable for growing in a wide range of soils including heavy or chalky areas but prefers granite content. Shows a tendency towards Coulure, ie.
Origin: (Neuburger x Rhine Riesling). Not extended in a bigger range yet - it takes only a part of 0,35 % in the entire vineyard area in the Czech Republic, but its proportion rises.
KMWAn abbreviation for Klosterneuburger Mostwaage, a measurement of must weight used in Austria. A more widespread equivalent, which is used in Germany, is the Oechsle scale. Elsewhere you are more likely to hear of Baumé and Brix.
It should be remembered a wine in order to belong to a specific category must meet all the minimum requirements as set by law, in particular must density, in Austria measured in Klosterneuburger Mostwage degrees, abbreviated as KMW.
