Comments	The words Feher Szagos reportedly mean "Muscat blanc" in Hungarian. Feher Szagos is a synonym for the grape cultivar known as Ezerjó, which is the prime name by which this cultivar is known in Europe. FPS has chosen to leave the name Feher Szagos on its selection for historical reasons. The TTB has approved that name for use on wine labels in the United States.
