The white grape variety is a new breed between Palomino x Colombard. It was crossed in 1978 in South Africa at the Nietvoorbij Institute for Viticulture and Oenology of the University of Stellenbosch. The name was formed from the two parent variety names. The variety is grown in small quantities in the Geographical Unit Northern Cape and in the District of Stellenbosch. In 2016, two hectares of vineyard area were designated (Statistics Kym Anderson).
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
