Heroldrebe

The red grape variety is a new cross between Blauer Portugieser x Blauer Limberger (Blaufränkisch), which was confirmed by DNA analyses published in 2012. Synonyms are Heroldtraube, Weinsberg S 130 and WE S 130. The cross was made in 1929 by grower August Herold (1902-1973) at the Staatliche Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Weinsberg in Württemberg. Variety protection and entry in the variety register was granted in 1960. The variety was a crossing partner in the new varieties Dornfelder, Hegel and Piroso.
