The red grape variety (also Quebranta Peruana) originates from Peru. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2017, it is a presumably natural cross between Mission (Listán Prieto) x Negra Mole (Negramoll). However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). It is mainly used there as a base wine for the production of the spirit pisco(national drink in Chile and Peru). However, the variety is also used as a wine grape for simple red and rosé wines and as table grape In 2016, a cultivation area of 330 hectares was recorded in Peru. There are also small populations in Argentina and Brazil (Kym Anderson).
