The white grape variety is an interspecific new breed between Armlong x Malaga. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The crossing of the hybrid took place in 1902 by the botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). The high-yielding variety is cultivated in Kansas as well as in other states in the central southern USA. It produces vibrant white wines. However, no stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
