Blaufränkisch × Dornfelder artificial cross created at the Weinsberg research center in Baden-Württemberg (D) in 1971, Acolon was included in the official register in 2002. Early, rich in anthocyanins and sugar, this variety is quite widespread in the Rhine Palatinate region in Germany, but it is scarce in Switzerland where it produces wines similar to its Blaufränkisch (or Blauer Limberger) parent.
