Leányka

The white grape variety originates from Hungary; the name means "girl" or "little girl". Synonyms are Leanka, Leanika, Leányka Fehér and Mädchentraube.

Leányka - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

The parentage is unknown. There are great morphological similarities with the Romanian variety Fetească Albă. According to DNA analyses carried out in 1999 (F. Regner) and 2009 (Z. Galbács), they are said to be two independent varieties (they are also listed as independent in Kym Anderson 's statistics). According to Dr Erika Maul (JKI), however, the DNA profiles are identical, which is why only one variety is listed in the VIVC catalogue. Under the name Leányka, it was a parent of Királyleányka (natural cross) and Zefír (new variety).
