A promising, and relatively new, red wine grape, Domina is a crossing of Portugieser and
Spätburgunder that was bred at the Institute for Vine Breeding in Siebeldingen in the Pfalz.
Like the Portugieser, it is a fairly prolific variety and does not require a particular type
of soil or site. Domina ripens later than Portugieser but earlier than Spätburgunder. In
2001, there were 228 hectares (563 acres) of Domina under vine - more than double the area a
decade ago (89 ha/220 acres) - most of which is planted in Franken. Although they seldom show
the finesse of Spätburgunder, Domina wines are pleasant, full-bodied and deep in color. |
