Gutedel is an old grape variety known for its lightness and freshness in taste. In crossbreeding, Gutedel has been used as a parent in some cases. Here are some examples of Gutedel's crossing partners:

Müller-Thurgau: This cross between Riesling and Gutedel was created in 1882 by the Swiss vine grower Hermann Müller. One of the most commonly grown grape varieties in Germany, Müller-Thurgau has easy drinkability, medium body and aromas of citrus and apricots.

Chambourcin: This red grape variety was bred in France in the 1960s from Gutedel and an unknown red parent. Chambourcin is widely used in the US and typically produces tannic, fruity red wines.

Bronner: This cross between Gutedel and another unknown grape variety was created in the 1970s by German vine grower Georg Scheu. Bronner is a fungus resistant variety and typically produces fresh, fruity wines with a slight acidity.

Souvignier Gris: This fungus-resistant grape variety was bred in Germany in the 1980s from Gutedel and an unknown red parent. Souvignier Gris typically produces medium-bodied wines with high acidity and aromas of citrus and herbs.
