Cabernet Dorsa

The red grape variety (breeding number 17-92) 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.

The new Cabernet Dorio variety also originated from the same parents.
