The white grape variety with white berry colour originates from Hungary. Synonyms are Fehér Kövidinka, Kamenoruzak Bily, Mala Dinka, Ruzica Biela, Ruzica Bijela, Steinschiller Blanc and White Steinschiller. It should not be confused with the possibly related red-berry variety Kövidinka. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it is probably a natural cross between Berbecel x Papazkarasi. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular genetics). No stocks were reported under this name in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
