The white grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Aron x Lanka. It contains genes from Vitis rupestris, Vitis berlandieri (American), Vitis amurensis (Asian) and Vitis vinifera (European). The hybrid was crossed in the Czech Republic by the breeder Vilém Kraus (1924-2013). It is mainly used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
