Canadice

The white grape variety is an interspecific new variety between Bath x Himrod. It was named after Canadice Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in the state of New York. Synonyms are Canadice Seedless, Kanadis Seedless and New York 45-625, which contain genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vnifera. The hybrid was crossed in 1945 by the breeders R. M. Pool and J. P. Watson at the Grapevine Breeding Institute of Cornell University in Geneva, New York. It was authorised for cultivation in 1977. It is mostly used as an table grape ornamental vine, but also as a wine grape. However, the high-yielding, seedless vine only produces simple quality white wines with a subtle foxy flavour. There are tiny populations in Canada (0.2 ha) and in the US states of New York, Oregon and Pennsylvania (0.2 ha). In 2016, a total of half a hectare of vines was designated (Kym Anderson statistics).
