Österreichisch-Weiß
Österreichisch-Weiß is a grape variety for white wine. It is now very rarely cultivated, but is noted for being one of the parents of Silvaner, the other parent being Traminer. Österreichisch-Weiß itself is the offspring of Weißer Heunisch as father with an unknown mother variety.
In older times, Österreichisch-Weiß blended with Traminer contributed to giving "Grinzinger" a good reputation.
It is often confused with Brauner Veltliner. The name Österreicher has previously also been used as a synonym for Brauner Veltliner and Silvaner.
