The red grape variety is an open-pollinated seedling of (Jaeger 43 x Rupestris). It contains genes from Vitis lincecumii and Vitis rupestris. The selection was made in 1892 by the US botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). The hybrid is extremely frost-resistant (down to -34 °C) and resistant to Pierce's disease. It produces wines similar to port wine. The vine is also used as table grape. It was a crossing partner of the new variety Universal. No stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
