This white grape variety is a new cross between Palomino x Cardinal. The crossing took place in Andalusia/Spain. The medium-maturing, high-yielding vine produces white wines with moderate acidity. It is mainly used in the Jerez area for the production of base wines for distillation. No stock was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
