Cabernet Mitos is a dark-skinned variety of grape used for red wine.

It was created at a grape breeding institute in Weinsberg in the Württemberg wine region, Germany in 1970 by crossing Blaufränkisch and Teinturier du Cher.

The previous belief that it was a cross between Blaufränkisch and Cabernet Sauvignon, which even the breeders themselves stated, was corrected in 2013 through a DNA analysis.

Cabernet Mitos received varietal protection and was released for general cultivation on January 24, 2001.

[3] Cabernet Mitos wines are full bodied and rich in tannin, and are well suited for oak barrel aging.
