Pálava is a variety of white wine grape developed in 1953 by Josef Veverka in Moravia. The variety is a genetic crossbreed of the Gewürztraminer and Müller Thurgau grape varieties. [1]
The variety has not spread far beyond its homeland, outside of the Czech Republic is planted in Slovakia, albeit in small quantities. [2] In 2018 it was grown in the Czech Republic on 594 hectares of vineyards, mostly (45%) in the Mikulov region. [3]
