The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between America x Profusion. It contains genes from Vitis aestivalis, Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1897 in California 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).

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