The white grape variety (breeding no. R.F. 5 or RF 5) is an interspecific new breeding between Schatz Pannonia (Pannonia Kincse) x Seibel 5279 (Aurore). It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in Hungary by the two private breeders J. Füri and E. Visontai. It is mainly used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
