The white grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Severny x Odessky Ustoichivy (Băbească Neagră x Rupestris). Synonyms are Nachodka, Nakhadka, Nakhodka and Ovidiopolskii. Genes of Vitis amurensis, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrid was crossed in Odessa in the Ukraine in 1959 by the breeder P. K. Aivazian. It was a crossing partner in the new variety Zagrei. Plant variety protection was granted in 1986. The medium to late ripening, high-yielding vine is resistant to frost. It produces fruity white wines with floral aromas. The variety is also used as table grape. However, no stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

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".
