'''Heroldrebe''' is a red [[German wine]] [[grape variety]] produced by [[crossing (vine)|crossing]] [[Blauer Portugieser]] and [[Blaufränkisch|Lemberger]].<ref name="VIVC">{{cite web |url=http://www.vivc.de/datasheet/dataResult.php?data=5365 |title=Heroldrebe |work=[[Vitis International Variety Catalogue]] |accessdate=2010-01-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323134314/http://www.vivc.de/datasheet/dataResult.php?data=5365 |archive-date=2012-03-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was created by [[August Herold]] at the grape breeding institute in [[Weinsberg]] in the [[Württemberg (wine region)|Württemberg]] region in 1929, and was named after him.
One of Heroldrebe's drawbacks is its relatively late ripening; it is harvested at about the same time as [[Pinot noir]]. Heroldrebe was grown on a total of {{convert|155|ha}} in Germany in 2008, with a decreasing trend. There were {{convert|99|ha}} in [[Palatinate (wine region)|Palatinate]], {{convert|32|ha}} in [[Rheinhessen (wine region)|Rheinhessen]], and {{convert|23|ha}} in [[Württemberg (wine region)|Württemberg]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Landwirtschaftliche Bodennutzung - Rebflächen - Fachserie 3 Reihe 3.1.5 - 2008 |trans-title=Agricultural land use - Areas under vine |year=2008 |publisher=[[Statistisches Bundesamt]] |location=Wiesbaden, Germany |url=https://www-ec.destatis.de/csp/shop/sfg/bpm.html.cms.cBroker.cls?cmspath=struktur,vollanzeige.csp&ID=1023922 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20110812211016/https://www-ec.destatis.de/csp/shop/sfg/bpm.html.cms.cBroker.cls?cmspath=struktur,vollanzeige.csp&ID=1023922 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-08-12 }}</ref> In Palatinate it is typically used to produce light, almost pinkish, colored wines.<ref name="Robinson pg 140"> J.
