Abstract

The article focuses on the development and characteristics of a new white wine grape cultivar called 'Blanc Du Soleil' developed by the Florida A&M University Grape Genetics and Breeding Program in collaboration with Texas A&M University. It is discussed that it is notable for its resistance to Pierce's disease and its successful adaptation to the climate of the Texas Gulf Coast and Florida Panhandle, resulting in the production of high-quality wine.
