Dornfelder

Dornfelder is a red wine variety that was bred in Weinsberg, W?rttemberg in 1955 in order to give German vintners a dark red grape that would grow well in German vineyards. Traditionally, because of a climate that is cooler and less sunny than France or Italy, German wines had been primarily white. The reds of Germany were usually pale and light-bodied. Dornfelder, however, is a German wine that is full-bodied with plenty of tannin, and has become the third most grown varietal in Germany. It is also grown in England.
