The white grape variety is a new breed between Neuburger x Riesling. It was crossed in 1953 in Moravia/Czech Republic (then Czechoslovakia) by Josef Veverka and Frantisek Zatloukal. The plant variety protection was granted in 1983. The vine has potentially very sugar-rich berries and is susceptible to botrytis. It produces spicy white wines similar to Riesling with aromas of quince and lime blossom. It is cultivated in the Czech Republic (44 ha) and Slovakia (26 ha); small stocks are also said to exist in Hungary. In 2010, a total of 70 hectares of vineyard area were declared, but in 2016 there were no more stocks (statistics Kym Anderson).
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
