The white grape variety (also Fresno 18-94) is an extremely complex new variety. The varieties Calmeria, Cardinal, Molinera, Muscat d'Alexandrie, Tifafihi Ahmer and Thompson Seedless (Sultana) were involved. The cross was made in 1973 in the USA by the breeder John H. Weinberger. The variety is mainly used as table grape. In 2016, a stock of 230 hectares was reported in Mexico (statistics Kym Anderson).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
