Nobling
variety of grape
Nobling is a white German wine grape variety that is a crossing between Silvaner and Chasselas. The variety was created in 1940 at the Staatliches Weinbauinstitut Freiburg in Baden-Württemberg by grape breeder Johannes-Friedrich Zimmermann. It is primarily found in the Baden wine region but its number have been declining for most of the late 20th and early 21st century from its high point of 100 hectares (250 acres) in the late 1970s.
Viticulture
Nobling is a crossing of the Silvaner and Chasselas grape that was bred to ripen in the cooler climate of German wine regions but still retain moderate acidity levels.
Synonyms

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Nobling” is variety of grape. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Nobling, variety and grape, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “variety of grape” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 4, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q381567. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1940.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
