Albarín Blanco

The white grape variety originates from Spain. Synonyms are Alvarin Blanco, Albarin Bianco, Blanca del País, Blanca Lexitima, Blanco Legítimo, Blanco Lexitimo, Blanco País, Blanco Verdín, Branca do País, Branca Lexitima, Branco Legitimo, Branco Lexítimo, Raposo and Tinta Fina. The name means "little white one", which presumably refers to the berries.

Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Savagnin Blanc (Traminer) x unknown father variety. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see under molecular genetics).

It should not be confused with the varieties Albillo Real, Alfrocheiro (Albarín Negro), Alvarinho, Elbling and Gouais Blanc (both also Blanco Verdín), as well as Savagnin Blanc (cultivated in Spain and Australia under the names Albariño and Albarín Blanco) due to some of the same synonyms and morphological similarities.
