The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Seibel 7042 x Seibel 5409 (Gloire de Seibel). Synonyms are Ivan, Kaskade and Seibel 13053, which contain genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis berlandieri, Vitis cinerea, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis riparia, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in France by Albert Seibel (1844-1936). However, the parentage could not be confirmed in DNA analyses carried out in 2018 (unknown). It was a crossing partner in the new variety L'Acadie Blanc.
