The white grape variety comes from Croatia. Synonyms are Zlatarica, Zlatarica Bijela, Zlatarytza and Zlatharitza. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2002, it is a parent of the Pošip Bijeli variety. It must not be confused with the genetically different Zlatarica Vrgorska variety. The variety no longer plays a role; no stocks were recorded in 2010 (statistics Kym Anderson).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
