The white grape variety originates from Cyprus. The parentage is unknown. The almost extinct variety was rediscovered by the Cypriot oenologist Akis Zambartas. The vine is probably a clone of the Promara variety. It is used as a wine grape and table grape. No stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
