The white grape variety is an interspecific cross between wild vines of the species Vitis labrusca x Vitis vinifera. It is an open-pollinated seedling of the Catawba variety. The hybrid was selected in the USA in 1849 by the breeder J. E. Mottier. In 2010, however, no stock was recorded (Kym Anderson).
