Dornfelder is a red-wine grape, originating in 1956 @ the Weinsberg Research Center in Germany, it is a deliberate cross bred between a Helfensteiner and Heoldrebe. Shown here is a 2023 (mathy-schanz) dornfelder feinherb (off-dry) from the Mosel region, balancing a noticeable, delicate sweetness with vibrant, high acidity. Falling between dry (trocken) , and semi-sweet (halbtrocken). Dornfelder grapes are usually more playful (like a gamay from neighboring Beaujolais, France), but more light bodied than a merlot (Italy, france). Still a dark grape, with over 40,000 ha's planted in Germany alone, it tends to make the price more affordable. Dornfelder grows easier than spatburgunder, and, has better resistance than blauer portugieser. But, I tend to favor the wine from the Rheinhessen region, like the (cheap) 2022 pauser 'dornfelder fuchshen lieblich'. With its fruity notes of blackberry, and cherry; it is a sweet/medium-sweet, everyday, wine that pairs well with cheese, anything tomato based, or anything vegetarian.
