The red grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Big Extra (Extra) x Triumph. It contains genes from Vitis lincecumii, Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1887 in the USA by the botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). It was a crossing partner of the new varieties Black Queen, Muscat Bailey A and Rose Ciotat. The high-yielding vine is sensitive to winter frost but resistant to various diseases. It produces neutral-tasting red wines without foxy. The variety is cultivated in the central south in the states of Kansas and Missouri. In 2016, however, a stand of 49 hectares was only reported in Brazil (Kym Anderson).
