Detailed Description: Wine lovers, this is your dream grape! Blanc DuBois was specifically developed for our challenging Southern climate and produces absolutely gorgeous white wine grapes that rival anything from California. This variety is incredibly disease-resistant, which means less spraying and more success here in Willis' humid conditions. Train it on an arbor or pergola where it'll spread 12-20 feet, giving you both beautiful coverage and delicious fruit. The clusters ripen beautifully in our Texas heat, and you'll be amazed at the quality wine you can make right in your backyard!
