The white grape variety (also North Carolina 57-56) is an interspecific new breeding between Howard (Scuppernong x Rotundifolia) x North Carolina 11-173 (Topsail x Tarheel). It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis rotundifolia and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in the USA in 1951 by the breeders W. B. Nesbitt, V. H. Underwood and D. E. Carroll at North Carolina University. There is a morphological similarity with the new variety Noble. This early to medium maturing, high yielding vine is resistant to frost but less resistant to Pierce Disease than other Muscadinia varieties. It yields bronze-coloured, sweet white wines, but is also used as table grape and for the production of grape juice. The variety is grown in the US states of Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina (166 ha) and Texas. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Statistiuk 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.
