The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Carter(Isabellaseedling) x Black Hamburg (Schiava Grossa). Synonyms are Agavam and Rogers Hybrid 15, which contain genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1861 by grower Edward S. Rogers (1820-1880) in the USA in Salem Massachusetts. It was named after an Indian village. The loose-berried vine produces light red wines with a pronounced foxy flavour. It is also used as table grape. No stock was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
