The white grape variety originates from Turkey. Synonyms are Hasandede and Soungourlou. The parentage is unknown. It should not be confused with the Hasandede Beyazi (Sungurlu) or Kalecik Karasi varieties, despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities. It is used as a wine grape. No stocks were recorded in 2016 (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.
