Cabernet Dorio

The red grape variety (breeding no. We 71-817-89) is a new variety between Blauer Limberger (Blaufränkisch) x Dornfelder according to DNA analyses carried out in 2013. The parentage Dornfelder x Cabernet Sauvignon given in the breeding list turned out to be incorrect. The cross was made in 1971 by Helmut Schleip and Bernd H. E. Hill at the Staatliche Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Wein- und Obstbau in Weinsberg (Württemberg). Plant variety protection was granted in 2003. The new Cabernet Dorsa variety also originated from the same parents.
