The red grape variety is an interspecific new breed between Carter (Isabella seedling) x Black Hamburg (Schiava Grossa). Synonyms are Agavam and Rogers Hybrid 15. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrid took place in 1861 by the breeder Edward S. Rogers (1820-1880) in the USA in Salem Massachusetts. It was named after an Indian place. The loose-berried vine produces light red red wines with pronounced Foxton. It is also used as a table grape. In 2016, no stock was recorded (Kym Anderson).

Dear Sir or Madam, if I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a wealth of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. An excellent idea. Very inspiring and up-to-date. Keep it up, thank you!
