The white grape variety originates from Spain. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2018, it comes from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x Alfrocheiro. It should not be confused with the Trincadeira das Pratas variety (synonym Allaren, same parentage). No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
