The white grape variety is a new variety between Sémillon x Roter Traminer (Gewürztraminer). Synonyms are California H 59-90 and Flora Rose. The cross was made in 1938 by the botanist Dr. Harold P. Olmo (1909-2006) at the University of California at Davis. Plant variety protection was granted in 1958. The early ripening vine was bred especially for the climatically hot Californian conditions. It produces highly aromatic, full-bodied but somewhat low-acid white wines. The variety is grown in Australia (1 ha), Brazil (0.1 ha), California in Napa Valley, New Zealand (3 ha) and South Africa (8 ha).
