About

Helfensteiner grape is a red German wine grape crossing that was created in 1931 with the crossing of Frühburgunder and Trollinger. It was created by August Herold at the grape breeding institute in Weinsberg in the Württemberg region. Helfensteiner was later, in 1955, crossed with Heroldrebe to produce Dornfelder.
it is used for making red wine.Helfensteiner is early Pinot Noir x Black Hamburger and Heroldrebe is Portugieser x Limburger.
The wine is notable for its colour and good acidity and grows well in the UK, having been introduced in the 1980’s. In Germany it is quite widely grown and capable of producing some very fine wines. Over here it is one of the grapes that shows that good red wine can be made in the U.K. Wines are usually fresh and fruity more like Syrah or Gamay than Cabernet Sauvignon.
