Cabertin

The red grape variety (also VB 91-26-17) is an interspecific new variety between Cabernet Sauvignon x Regent. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1991 by grower Valentin Blattner in Soyhières in the Swiss canton of Jura and then selected at vine nursery Freytag in the municipality of Neustadt/Lachen-Speyerdorf in Germany (Palatinate).

Characteristics

The medium to late-maturing, frost-hardy vine is resistant to botrytis and both types of mildew, which is why it is considered a PIWI variety. It produces deep, dark red wines with aromas of blackcurrants and black cherries.
