The white grape variety possibly originates from Germany. Synonyms are Bela Hapshovina, Erjava Tishna, Erjava Tizhna, Fly Grape, Pohapshovina, Rjava Ticina, Ticcna, Rujava, White Fish Grape, White Fly Grape and Zhalet. The origin (parentage) is unknown; in any case, it is a very old variety. It is suitable for wine presses and table grape. No stock was reported in 2016 (statistics Kym Anderson).

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
