The white grape variety probably originates from the former USSR. There is no entry under this name in the VIVC catalogue. There, the varieties Yantarnyi Kuzmina, Yantarny Ochen Krasivyi, Yantarnyi Rannii and Yantarnyi Sarmarkandskii are listed, which are probably new varieties. In 2016, 683 hectares of vineyards were reported under the name Muscat Yantarnyi in Moldova (Kym Anderson statistics).
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
