Budai Zöld

The white grape variety originates from the Carpathian Basin in Hungary; the name means "Green of Buda" (district of Budapest). Synonyms are Budai, Boudaisky Vert, Budimsko Zeleno, Zelenka, Zöld Szölö, Zöldfehér and Zöldszölö. The parentage is unknown. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is susceptible to botrytis and downy mildew and is sensitive to frost. It produces full-bodied, yellow-coloured white wines with aromas of green apples.

Budai Zöld - Traube und Blatt

It was once one of the most important varieties west of the Danube, but the population was severely decimated by phylloxera in the 1870s. Today, it is only cultivated on the north side of Lake Balaton and in the Somló area. This is mostly done in the neighbourhood of the all-female Kéknyelű grape variety for the purpose of fertilisation. The variety was a breeding partner of the new variety Vulcanus. Six hectares of vines were recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
