Recent DNA analysis (2002) suggests the variety resulted from a Heunisch Weiss/Gouais Blanc cépage cross with an unknown hungarian variety. Has some susceptibility to fungus diseases, "noble rot" (botrytis) giving a positive factor.
Also (subject to confirmation) grown in Austria under the synonym name Heunisch Weiss plus in other countries of Central Europe under the synonym name Belina. Reportedly planted in Australia around 1874. At least one producer in Rutherglen, N.
