The white grape variety is a new variety between (Amurensis x Vinifera) x Italia. It contains genes from Vitis amurensis and Vitis Vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1960 in Hungary by the breeders István Tamassy and István Koleda. The vine is resistant to fungal diseases and frost. It was the crossing partner of the four new varieties Morava, Panonia, Petra and Rani Rizling. The variety is cultivated in the Kunság area. In 2016, only 0.4 hectares of vines were reported, with a strong downward trend (Kym Anderson statistics).
