Fetească Shelfă

The white grape variety originates from Romania. Synonyms grouped alphabetically by country are Danesdörfer Königsast, Dünesdörfer Königsast, Königliche Mädchentraube, Königsast, Königstochter (Germany, Austria); Dănășană, Dănășeană, Dăneșană, Dánosi Leányka, Dunășană, Galbenă de Ardeal, Galbenă di Ardeal, Gelbenă de Ardeal, Fetească de Danes, Fetească Korolevskaia, Fetească Muscatnaia, Fetească Muskatnaia, Fetească Regale, Fetească Regola (Romania); Pesecká Leánka (Slovakia); Erdei Sarga,(Hungary). It should not be confused with Királyleányka, despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is the result of a presumably natural cross between Fetească Albă x Frâncușă (thus disproving the presumed paternity of Grasă de Cotnari ). However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular genetics). According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, the mother variety was confirmed, but the father variety is unknown. The variety was a crossing partner of the new variety Astra. There are two varieties with thin-skinned yellowish and thick-skinned yellow-green berries.
