Hibernal is a variety of white wine grape of the hybrid with Vitis vinifera which was developed in 1944, by Heinrich Birk at the Geisenheim Grape Breeding Institute.

The basic idea was to develop pest and fungus-resistant vines.

The variety, however, has a very good winter hardiness even against stronger frosts.

The full-bodied and racy wine produced has a taste at times similar to a Scheurebe.

[2] The variety is particularly important in South East Europe.
