Ancestry

It is one parent of the Plavac Mali red wine grape variety;[1] the other one is Zinfandel, a grape variety also known as Crljenak Kaštelanski in Croatia, from where it originates.[2][3]

Agriculture

Historically, it was prone to mold, while Crljenak was prone to be overly heat sensitive, thus the cross of Plavac Mali resulted in a grape that had neither of these negative attributes and was perfect for the region.[3]
