Vitaceae

Vitis ‘Acadie Blanc’, commonly known as ‘Acadie Blanc’ grape, is a hybrid white grape variety recognized for its hardiness and ability to produce quality grapes in cool climates. Its vigorous climbing habit, equipped with strong tendrils and well-lignified canes, allows it to effectively cover trellises, pergolas, and fences in full sun. It forms medium clusters of pale green to golden-yellow grapes at maturity, with relatively thick skin and juicy flesh, offering a balanced flavor between sweetness and acidity, with delicate notes of green apple, citrus, and sometimes a floral nuance. Primarily intended for winemaking, it allows for the production of dry, fresh, and aromatic white wines. Its deciduous bright green foliage creates a dense canopy in season and turns yellow in autumn. Vitis ‘Acadie Blanc’ is distinguished by its consistent productivity and good adaptation to northern regions.
