Pascal Blanc

The white grape variety originates from France. Synonyms are Pascal, Pascaou, Pascaou Blanc, Pascau and Plant Pascal.

Pascal Blanc - Traube, Trieb und Blatt

Origin

It was first mentioned as Pascau Blanc in 1715 as a "very common variety". The parentage is unknown. Nothing is known about a possible relationship to the red variety Monica Nera (with the synonym Pascal Noir). Direct descendants through natural crosses are the varieties Sicilien and Téoulier Blanc.

Characteristics

The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is very susceptible to powdery mildew and botrytis, but is resistant to drought. It produces neutral, low-alcohol white wines without any particular finesse.
