The white grape variety comes from Austria or Croatia (or former Austro-Hungary). In the VIVC catalogue the three varieties (possibly varieties) Blue Barthainer, Green Barthainer and White Barthainer are listed with partly identical synonyms:
Nothing is known about possible relationships of these three varieties with each other or with the Hungarian variety Javor Groß with partly the same synonyms (Javor, Jauer). Likewise, there is no information about the parentage (parenthood). It is suspected that the variety Grüner and/or Weißer Barthainer is probably identical to the South Tyrolean variety Fraueler (Frauler), but this has not yet been confirmed by DNA analyses. In 2016, no stocks were reported under the above mentioned names (statistics 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.
