Schilcher is a wine produced solely in the Austrian state of Styria, in the districts of Deutschlandsberg and Voitsberg. The Schilcher wine itself is a distinct rosé made from the indigenous Blauer Wildbacher grape. The colour ranges from a light onion tinge to a deep ruby. The grape was once a wild variety that was said to contain alcohol compounds that, allegedly, would induce wild inebriation, hence its colloquial name Rabiatperle - rabid pearl. Over time, Schilcher has become a regarded wine in Austria. The name Schilcher originates from the Middle High German word schillern meaning to radiate with colour.
