The white grape variety is a new variety between Coarnă Alba (Pukhliakovsky) x Regina Viilor (Queen of Vineyards). Synonyms are Muscat de Bukaresti, Muskat Timpurio de Bukureshti and Timpuriu de Bucuresti. The cross was made in Romania in 1956 by the breeders E. Negreanu and G. Constantinescu. It is mainly used as table grape. The variety is cultivated in Moldova. In 2016, 15 hectares of vines were recorded there (Kym Anderson).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
