The Dornfelder represents the youngest grape type of all Wurttemberg’s varieties. It was created by the Wurttemberg School of Viticulture at Weinsberg by crossing Helfensteiner and Heroidrebe vines.
The big, blue bunches produce full-bodied red wines of a wonderfully intense colour. The Dornfelder is well suited to vinification in small, new oak barrique casks. With cuisine, it goes particularly well with poultry, venison and lamb.
There is a culinary tradition that says the wine used in the sauce should accompany the dish at table.
If this is true, there is nothing better than savouring a glass of Dornfrlder with a breast of pheasant in a Dornfelder sauce together with broccoli and fried potatoe wafers.
