The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Petra x Bianca. Incidentally, the new variety Backa was also bred from the same parents. It contains genes from Vitis amurensis and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in Serbia by Petar Cindric and Nadar Korac. Plant variety protection was granted in 2002. The vine is resistant to frost and to fungal diseases. However, no stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
