CABERNET CORTIS

Variety from which you get a very nice wine, strong and soft, intense
color, herbal extract rich in phenols and very reminiscent of Cabernet
Sauvignon. This can be compared to fine Bordeaux
Cabernet Cortis is a dark-skinned grape variety used for wine. It was
bred in 1982 by Norbert Becker at the viticultural institute in
Freiburg, Germany as part of a programme searching for disease-
resistant grape varieties. It received German varietal protection in
2003.
From 1999 to 2005, Cabernet Cortis and four other Freiburg-created
varieties were evaluated in experimental plantations at Pully in the
Lake Geneva region of Switzerland. Cabernet Cortis ripens early, is
highly resistant to downy mildew and botrytis, but is sensitive to
powdery mildew.
Cabernet Cortis yields highly coloured, tannic and intense wines with
a herbal-vegetal character that are supposed to be Cabernet-styled.
