The red grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Post Oak x Norton. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis lincecumii and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1905 in the USA by the botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). The vine is resistant to the grapevine disease Pierce Disease. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
