The white grape variety (breeding no. Vineland 63-331) is an interspecific new variety between Vineland 50-154 (Plantet x Seibel 14-664) x New York 25-681, which contains genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1963 by grower Helen A. Fisher and Oliver A. Bradt at the Ontario Horticultural Research Institute of Canada. It was released for cultivation in 1983.

The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is susceptible to powdery mildew, downy mildew and black rot, but is resistant to frost. It produces fruity,fresh white wines with a Riesling-like character.
