Tracing Dornfelder's family tree is a daunting task. A cross of Helfensteiner (an amalgam of Pinot Noir and Schiava) and Heroldrebe (itself a cross of Portugieser and Blaufrankisch and named for August Herold, who, confusingly, also created Dornfelder), the wine from this dark-skinned grape can be dry or semi-sweet, but like most amiable mutts, is always quite lovable.
