Magyar Franconia

The red grape variety is a new variety between Muscat Bouschet x Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch). Synonyms are Madar Frankos and Magyar Frankos. The crossbreeding was done in Hungary in 1953 by the two breeders Pál Kozma and József Tusnádi. The plant variety protection was granted in 1974.
