The white grape variety originates from Spain. Synonyms are Moll, Moll Binisalem, Moll Encin, Pansal Blanco, Pensal, Pensal Blanco, Premsal (2nd main name), Premsal Blanco, Premsal Blanca, Prensal, Prensal Blanc and Prensal Blanco.
According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Hebén x unknown sire variety. However, it should not be confused with the varieties Afus Ali or Xarello (Premsal Blanca) due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
The medium-maturing, high-yielding vine is susceptible to powdery mildew (oidium). It produces finely acidic, fruity white wines, which are mostly used for blending.
