Cymbidium Maureen Grapes was bred and registered by Geyserland Orchids in 1984.
It is a highly complex hybrid consisting primarily of standard species, but one of its "grandparents" was Cym. ensifolium, which might have brought a smidge of warmth tolerance with it.
Two cultivars have been awarded, 'Meadow Park' HCC/AOS, BM/CSA, and 'Tatsue' BM/CSA.
There are 4 registered hybrids using Maureen Grapes as a parent: Alan Grapes (x Coraki), Enzan History (x Memoria Jacqueline Oy), Golden Grapes Golden Elf x), and Baby Grapes (x Alan Grapes).

There is no registered hybrid with that as a complete name; I suspect the label should be Cymbidium Maureen Grapes 'Marylin' to indicate the name of that, unawarded cultivar.

It looks like a good cross to me - and probably would grow in warm conditions. Could you tell me where you got it?

My partner made the cross and it is widely distributed in Holland where it is sold as a pot plant.
This is what it will look like - Picasa Web Albums - George - Maureen Grapes
You may need more warmth tollerance in the background for growing cymbidiums in the Canary Islands. Look to the species Cym. ensifolium, Cym. canaliculatum, Cym. aloifolium or Cym dayanum
