For most of the 20th century it was treated as a workhorse: planted for cheap bulk cuvées and mass-produced table wine, then largely ripped out in favour of tougher, higher-yielding varieties better suited to industrial production. Kövesd grows it on 1.3 hectares in Garamkövesd, on the Slovak side of the border — hand-harvested and macerated on its skins for seven to eight days with careful remontage, just enough to build colour and grip without losing the grape's natural lightness.
