The white grape variety may have originated in Canada. The parentage is unknown. The early ripening vine is resistant to fungal diseases and frost. It produces aromatic white wines with a muscat tone. The variety is also suitable as table grape. In 2016, six hectares of vineyard were designated in Canada (Kym Anderson statistics).
