Dornfelder is a cross between Helfensteiner and Heroldrebe born in Germany. Helfensteiner a dark skinned grape is a cross of Fruhburgunder (Pinot Precoce noir) and Trollinger (Schiava Grossa.) What I found very interesting about Dornfelder is that it has a lost little sister called Hegel. The crossing took place in August 1955 by August Herold and it was given variety protection in 1994.</span></p> <p style= "-qt-paragraph-type: empty; -qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 18px; font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">  </p> <p style="-qt-block-indent: 0; text-indent: 18px; margin: 0px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Other regions Dornfelder is grown is Fingers Lakes Region in New York, the Cantons of Zurich, Schwyz England, Chech Republic, California in the Sta.
