Heroldrebe is a red German wine grape variety produced by crossing Blauer Portugieser and Lemberger.{{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 }} It was created by August Herold at the grape breeding institute in Weinsberg in the Württemberg region in 1929, and was named after him.

There were {{convert|99|ha}} in Palatinate, {{convert|32|ha}} in Rheinhessen, and {{convert|23|ha}} in Württemberg.{{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 }} In Palatinate it is typically used to produce light, almost pinkish, colored wines.
