The white grape variety originates from Hungary. There are almost 80 synonyms, which indicates a high age rebe. Some of them are Bacso, Balana, Balatoni Szoeloe, Boros, Budai Gohér, Coada Oilor, Dünnschalige, Durbants, Faller, Fehérfrankos, Fehérszölö, Fehér Kadarka, Fehérfrankos, Grünspät, Grünspan, Hosszunyelü, Jufarco, Juhfarku, Lämmerschwanz, Mohacsi, Mustafer, Ovis, Ovisse, Sarboros, Sárfehér, Saska, Schweifler, Silberweiß, Tarpai, Vekonyheju, Vilagos and Vinase. The name is derived from the elongated cylindrical shape of the grapes. The parentage (parentage) is still unclear because three DNA analyses have revealed three different DNA profiles. It must not be confused with the varieties Csomorika (Lamb's Tail), Hosszunyelü, Mustoasă de Măderat (Mustafer) or Sárfehér, despite seemingly indicating synonyms or morphological similarities. The medium-maturing, high-yielding vine is susceptible to botrytis and downy mildew and sensitive to frost. It yields acidic, rustic white wines. The variety was widespread in Hungary and also in Burgenland (Austria) in the 19th century before phylloxera. Today it is mainly cultivated in the Nagy-Somló area north of Lake Balaton and is often blended with the varieties Furmint and Olaszrizling (Welschriesling). It was a parent of the new variety Korona (1). In 2016, 195 hectares of vineyards were reported in Hungary (Kym Anderson statistics).
