The white grape variety originates from Azerbaijan. Synonyms are Alagura, Arevik, Arha-Grna and Khana Crna. It is possibly identical with the Armenian variety Arevik Spitak. However, the parentage is unknown. It is a late-maturing, all-female grape variety. It is cultivated in the autonomous republic of Nakhichevan. The variety is also used for grape juice and as table grape. However, no stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
