The red grape variety possibly originates from today's Slovenia (Austria-Hungary). It is said to be a cross between Blauer Silvaner x Heunisch (however, there is no indication in the VIVC catalogue). It should not be confused with the varieties Frühburgunder (Pinot Noir Précoce) or Pinot No ir (both with the synonym Möhrchen) because of the synonyms or morphological similarities that seem to indicate this. The vine was described in 1841 by the ampelographer Franz Xaver Trummer (1800-1858). As Black Champagne, the variety grew near Friedolsheim in Alsace, where it was the main component of the famous red wines of Kallstadt. The vine was already considered extinct or lost until a single vine was discovered in the Steigerwald in 2007. This vine can be found in Peter Götz's Gemischter Satz in the Zeller Schlossberg in Upper Franconia. In 2016, no stock was recorded under this name (Kym Anderson).
