Blanc du Bois
is an American hybrid grape that was created in 1968 by John A. Mortensen at the University of Florida’s by crossing various Vitis vinifera grape varieties such as Golden Muscat with native Florida varieties.
the grape variety it was named in honor of Emile DuBois, an influential grape grower and winemaker in the Tallahassee, Fla., area.
Blanc du Bois has become a varietal that can both produce marketable wine and resist Pierce's disease, a bacterial infection that destroys almost all vinifera strains imported into the southern United States.
It is found in Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. . .
