The white grape variety possibly originates from Germany. Synonyms are Bela Hapshovina, Erjava Tishna, Erjava Tizhna, Fly Grape, Pohapshovina, Rjava Ticina, Ticcna, Rujava, White Fish Grape, White Fly Grape and Zhalet. The origin (parentage) is unknown; in any case, it is a very old variety. It is suitable for wine presses and table grape. No stock was reported in 2016 (statistics Kym Anderson).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
