  • About this plant

    Vitis vinifera 'Pinot Blanc' is a white grape variety known for producing crisp, elegant wine and attractive garden presence. This deciduous vine has deeply lobed green leaves and bears small, pale green grape clusters that ripen in late summer to early autumn. In the garden, it serves both ornamental and productive roles, growing well on pergolas, trellises, or sunny walls. It requires a warm, sheltered location to fruit reliably in the UK but rewards with lush foliage and a harvest of sweet grapes.

Planting guide

Choose a warm, south- or south-west-facing wall or fence with plenty of sun. Plant in fertile, free-draining soil, and provide a strong support structure. Water during dry spells in the first year.

Care tips

Prune annually in winter for fruit production. Thin fruit for quality. Mulch in spring and water in dry spells. Requires good sun exposure for best yield.

Winter care

Fully deciduous. Prune hard during winter dormancy (typically January) to encourage strong fruiting wood. Protect young vines from harsh frost with fleece or mulch if newly planted.
