The red grape variety comes from Greece. Synonyms are Kurutachias, Kurutaktas, Romeiko Macheira and Romeiko Megalorago Macheira. The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. It must not be confused with the variety Romeiko (Romeiko Mavro). In 2016, no stock was recorded (Kym Anderson).

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
