The white grape variety (also known as Tarcal 10) is a new variety between Hárslevelű x Bouvier. The cross was made in 1967 in Hungary by grower László Brezovsik and Gáborné Szakolczay.
The early-maturing, high-yielding vine is moderately susceptible to fungal diseases, but resistant to winter frost. It produces acidic white wines with a lime blossom flavour.
It has been authorised for Tokaj since 2006; however, it only occupies 1% of the vineyard area in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. In 2016, a total of 30 hectares of vineyards were designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
