Black Dabinett is thought to be a sport of the original Dabinett, or possibly a seedling. It is named for its darker red/purple skin colour. It is slightly more vigorous and ripens a bit later, but the juice qualities are similar to the original and it can be used in cider blends or for single-varietal ciders.
