Type

Family
Vitaceae

Vitis 'Montréal Bleu' is a hardy grapevine particularly well-suited to cold climates, prized for its production of tasty dark blue grapes and its great vigor. This variety develops a twining, climbing habit capable of effectively covering trellises, pergolas, and fences, forming a dense leafy screen in summer. Its bright green deciduous foliage contributes to the ornamental effect while protecting the grape clusters during ripening. The grapes, grouped in generous clusters, ripen in late summer and offer a sweet, slightly tart flavor ideal for fresh consumption, juices, or certain artisanal processing. Suited to well-drained soils and sunny exposures, Vitis 'Montréal Bleu' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a productive, resistant, and decorative vine for northern vertical landscaping.
