The red grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Seyanets Malengra x Amurensis. Synonyms are Aurore du Nord, Zaria Severa, Zarja Severa and Zora Severa. It contains genes from Vitis amurensis and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1936 by Ya. I. Potapenko and E. Zakharova at the Viticulture Research Institute in Rostov (Russia). It is a purely female grape variety and is therefore dependent on cross-fertilisation. The new varieties Mitschurinski and Severny were also created from the same parents.
