The red grape variety (also FR 437-82 r) is a new variety between Cabernet Sauvignon x (Merzling x (Zarya Severa x Muskat-Ottonel)). This is also indicated in the form Cabernet Sauvignon x Solaris, as the father population was later given the grape variety name Solaris. It contains genes from Vitis amurensis, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1982 by Norbert Becker (1937-2012) at the State Viticulture Institute in Freiburg (Baden-Württemberg). Incidentally, the same parents were also used to create the new Cabernet Carol variety.
