The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between (Coarnă Neagră x Kishinev 35) x Pollenmixtur Seyanets + Seyve-Villard 23-657 (Varousset). Synonyms are Dojna and Doyna. Genes of Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera are included. The hybrid was crossed in 1968 in Moldova by the breeder D. D. Verderevskii.

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".
