The white grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Eger 2 (Villard Blanc) x Perlette. Synonyms are BG 13 and Bornemissza Gergely. Genes of Vitis berlandieri, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrid was crossed in Hungary by the two breeders József Csimazia and Laszlo Bereznai. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the Hungarian new variety Augusta (3). The variety was a crossing partner for the new varieties Arolanka and Franziska. The early to medium ripening, high-yielding vine is resistant to both types of powdery mildew. It is mainly used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
