The white grape variety (also Kleinweiß) probably originates from Germany. The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. There is possibly a genetic relationship to the varieties Weißer Elbling or Gouais Blanc (both with synonym Kleinberger). No stocks were reported under the name Gelber Kleinberger in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

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".
