Interestingly, I was just reading a chapter in a molecular gastronomy book about Scheurebe. Apparently, it is a "fraternal twin" of Gewurztraminer as far as aromatic compounds go, except for the main molecule which gives the latter its rose/lychee scents, and which is less present in Scheurebe. There seem to be hints of Sauvignon Blanc's grapefruit/passion fruit in certain examples however.
Personally, I've only ever tried sweet versions of this grape, and I very much enjoyed their upfront fruit explosions. Not really a fan of MC though...
