Bagrina

The white grape variety originates from the border region Romania/Serbia or former Yugoslavia/Hungary; the historical landscape Banat at the Balkans. There are about 60 synonyms, which testify the great age and the (once) wide distribution of the vine, especially in the eastern states. Some of them are Hellrothe Müllerrebe, Ungarstock (Germany, Austria); Bagrena, Bagrina Crvena, Bagrina Krajinska, Bragina Rara, Bagrina Rošie, Červená Dinka, Chervená Dinka, Crvena Dinka, Turska Ružica (Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia); Bagrina Rara, Braghina, Braghinâ, Braghinâ Albă, Braghinâ Deasa, Braghină de Drăgăsani, Braghină Rosie Rara, Vulpe Roşie Bătută(Moldova, Romania); Törökdinka, Vörös Dinka (Hungary).

Bagrena - Weintraube und Blatt

The parentage (parentage) is unknown. The variety was a crossing partner in the new variety Calina (1). It is an all-female grape variety. To ensure fertilization, it must therefore be planted in mixed sets. The medium to late ripening vine has reddish, thin-skinned berries. It produces harmonious tasting white wines with fresh acidity and also ageing potential. The variety is grown above all in the Romanian Drăgășani area, as well as in the Timok area in Serbia and in Bulgaria. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
