The white grape variety is a new cross between Tamarez x Moscatel de Malaga (Muscat d'Alexandrie). The cross was made in Portugal by José Leão Ferreira de Almeida. It is used as table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics). Favorita is also a synonym for the Vermentino grape variety.
