Very deeply coloured, structured reds with an inky robe, firm tannins and fresh acidity, with intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, pepper, spice and herbal blackcurrant-leaf notes. Dense palate, persistent finish. Grown in Germany (Württemberg, Palatinate, Rheinhessen) for modern-styled dry reds and blends seeking colour and substantial structure. German variety created in 1971 in Weinsberg, a cross of Dornfelder × Cabernet Sauvignon.
