This red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Clinton x Black St. Peters (Black Alicante). Synonyms are Arnold 16 and Hybride d'Arnold 16. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in Canada by the private breeder Charles Arnold. It is used as a grape variety and table grape. The new variety Brant was also created with the same parents. No stock was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
