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 the breeder August Herold (1902-1973) at the Staatliche Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Weinsberg in Württemberg. Plant variety protection was granted in 1960. The variety was a crossing partner in the new varieties Dornfelder, Hegel and Piroso. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is resistant to downy mildew and botrytis. It produces fruity, light red wines with mild tannins, which are preferred for the production of rosé and Pinot Blanc. In 2018, the variety occupied 97 hectares of vineyards in Germany with a downward trend (D-STATIS).
