The red grape variety is a new breed between Ten Dollar Prize x Black Eagle. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca, Vitis lincecumii and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed by the American botanist Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913). He used them mainly for other crosses, such as Ellen Scott. In 2016 no stock was recorded (statistics Kym Anderson).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
