The red grape variety comes from France. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2012, it is probably a natural cross between Gouais Blanc x Pinot. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). In 2016 no stock was reported (statistics Kym Anderson).

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.
