The white grape variety is an interspecific new breed between Villard Blanc x (Pannonia Kinsce x Mathiász János Diadala). It contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis rupestris, and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrid took place in 2001 by the breeder József Csizmazia in Eger (Hungary). The name was given after a popular female figure in Hungary in the poem cycle of the poet Mihály Csokonai Vitéz (1773-1805). The early ripening, frost-resistant variety is resilient against both mildew types. It is mainly used as a table grape. In 2016, 0.1 hectares of vineyard area were reported in Switzerland (Kym Anderson).
