The white grape variety is an interspecific new cross between 7489 INRA Bordeaux (Hybride Blanc) x Muscat d'Hamburg. The hybrid was crossed in 1981 on behalf of INRA at the Domaine de Vassal. The early-maturing vine is not particularly susceptible to vine diseases. No stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
