The red grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between America x Profusion. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in California in 1897 by the US botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913) at the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of California. No population was recorded in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
