Vidal Blanc suited to cold climate Vidal Blanc is a late ripening white grape. It is moderately hardy with large compact clusters. The grape is well suited to cold climates, due to its mid-season ripening and its ability to produce good crops from secondary buds in the event of late spring frosts. This makes Vidal tough enough to withstand the cold of regions like the Finger Lakes, many mid-western states and the Niagara Peninsula. |
