Light, fruity reds with intense ruby colour, silky tannins and a supple palate, showing simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), plum, soft spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching style to drink young. Now marginal in Germany, preserved for its genetic value in varietal collections and as a parent of Dornfelder (with Helfensteiner). German variety created in 1929 at Weinsberg (Portugieser × Blaufränkisch).

The word of the wine: Alcoholic fermentation
Transformation of sugars into alcohol under the effect of yeast. These yeasts exist in their natural state in the vineyards and in the cellars. Artificial seeding with selected yeasts is however very often practiced.
