Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Paugayen x Bests R 2 V 73, although this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see Molecular genetics). Due to morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the Chichaud, Cinsaut or Pinot Noir varieties.
