All about Wine

Cabernet “Made in Wurttemberg”

Background

This late ripening crossing of Dornfelder and Cabernet Sauvignon is reminiscent of Cabernet in aroma and flavor. The wines have aging potential and are ideal as cuvée components and/or candidates for barrique aging.
This red varietal was bred in Weinsberg in 1971 and approved for general cultivation in 2003. Due to its high demands on site and climate, it only performs well in top sites (suitable for Riesling).

Color & Flavor

Wines produced from ripe Cabernet Dorio grapes have a distinctive deep color and powerful flavor. Their aroma profile is similar to Cabernet: black currant and cedar. In their youth, they have lively tannins, and thus are suitable for aging.

Food Affinities

Cabernet Dorio is an ideal partner with game or roast beef served with hearty sauces. It also pairs well with aged, flavorful hard cheeses.
