The white grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Seneca x N.Y. 45910 (Bath x Interlaken Seedless). Synonyms are Vanessa Seedless and Vineland 65164. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in Canada in 1965 by the two breeders K. Helen Fisher and O. A. Bradt. The vine with seedless berries is frost-hardy down to minus 25 °Celsius and is used as table grape. It is cultivated in Canada, the north-eastern USA, France and Germany. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
