List of grape varieties

Canadice is a white grape variety bred in 1954 with seedless berries. It is a cross between Bath and the Himrod grape variety. It is a complex breed in which genes from the wild grapes Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera are present. Robert M. Pool is given as the breeder. Suitable seedlings were selected in 1962. Canadice has been approved for commercial cultivation since 1977.

The new breed was developed at Cornell University in Geneva (the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Department of Pomology and Viticulture , i.e. the grapevine breeding institute in New York State ). The university is located at the southern end of Cayuga Lake . The variety is named after Canadice Lake , one of the Finger Lakes .

The grape variety is mostly used as a domestic grape or as a locally marketed table grape , where it benefits from the comparatively low proportion of acid . Due to their high earning power, the wines are usually thin and of moderate quality. Smaller stocks are known in New York (→ Viticulture in New York ), Oregon (→ Viticulture in Oregon ) and Canada .

Synonym: the breeding line number NY 45625 or NEW YORK 45625, Canadice Seedless.

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The cylindrical grape is medium-sized (the weight of the approx. 15 cm long grape averages 240 g) and dense berries. The spherical berries are medium-sized (on average 1.6 g. Heavy) and red in color. The berries have the characteristic but less pronounced Fox tone of the wild grape Vitis labrusca. Due to the thick berry skin, the variety is well suited for transport and storage for several weeks.

The early growing grape variety ripens almost at the same time as the Gutedel and is therefore very early ripening within the red grape varieties, so that it can also mature in cool locations. The variety is sensitive to vine black rot and downy mildew . The variety has a better resistance to powdery mildew . In addition, the variety is moderately growing but very productive. If the yield is significantly reduced, the variety has a very good winter hardiness. Severe damage only occurs at temperatures below −20 ° C. It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
