This Cabernet variant is a cross with the aim of developing a particularly disease-resistant variety of Cabernet. The crossing was more complicated because the Cabernet Sauvignon was paired with the Solaris variety, itself a cross involving hybrid vines. Created in 1982, Cabernet Cortis only received its approval in 2003. The very early ripening variety is actually very resilient and has no problems with rot and, above all, with downy mildew, although it does have real problems. In terms of scent and taste, it most closely resembles Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard areas in Germany are currently so small that they have not yet been recorded statistically, but Cabernet Cortis is grown in small quantities in the Kaiserstuhl, where it is processed into rosé in addition to red wine. What is certain, however, is that there are around three hectares under vines in Denmark and two hectares in Switzerland. The variety was approved in Italy in 2011, but there is no reliable information about possible plantings there either.
