The white grape variety (also Szila) is a new cross between Kövidinka x Chardonnay. The cross was made in Serbia by the breeders P. Cindric, V. Kovac and S. Lazic. Plant variety protection was granted in 1988. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is resistant to Botrytis, but sensitive to frost. It produces light, acidic white wines. It is cultivated in Serbia in the Vojvodina region. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
