It was not until 2016 that DNA analyses carried out in Geisenheim (Rheingau) established that this variety is genetically identical to Concord. The exact origin of Concord was also determined in 2016 at the Julius Kühn Institute (Geilweilerhof) through DNA analysis. It is thought to have originated from a natural cross between Catawba (Vitis labrusca × Sémillon) and Vitis labrusca. Two mutations are Concord Clone 30 and King.
