L'Acadie blanc is a white Canadian wine grape variety that is a hybrid crossing of Cascade and Seyve-Villard 14-287. The grape was created in 1953 by grape breeder Ollie A. Bradt in Niagara, Ontario at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre which is now part of the University of Guelph. Today the grape is widely planted in Nova Scotia with some plantings in Quebec and Ontario.〔J. Robinson, J. Harding and J. Vouillamoz ''Wine Grapes - A complete guide to 1,368 vine varieties, including their origins and flavours'' pgs 197, 523 Allen Lane 2012 ISBN 978-1-846-14446-2 〕 Some wine writers, including those at Appellation America, consider L'Acadie blanc as "Nova Scotia’s equivalent to Chardonnay".〔 Mark DeWolf ''"(Defining L’Acadie )"'' Appellation America, Accessed: June 15th, 2013 〕 The grape is considered a complex hybrid which means that it has genes from several different species of ''Vitis'' genus in its lineage. The full lineage of L'Acadie blanc was mapped out by Helen Fisher of the University of Guelph and revealed that the grape has members from eight different ''Vitis'' species including ''Vitis aestivalis'', ''Vitis berlandieri'', ''Vitis cinerea'', ''Vitis labrusca'', ''Vitis lincecumii'', ''Vitis riparia'', ''Vitis rupestris'' and ''Vitis vinifera''.〔 In contrast, around 99% of the world's wine is made from grapes belonging only to ''Vitis vinifera'' species.〔Lydia Zuraw ''"(The French Learned To Make Wine From Italians 2,400 Years Ago )"'' National Public Radio (NPR), June 4th, 2013 〕 ==History and pedigree== L'Acadie blanc was created in 1953 by Ollie Bradt at the Vineland research center in Niagara, Ontario. The grape is a crossing the Seibel grape Cascade and the Villard grape Seyve-Villard 14-287, both bred by French horticulturalist. Cuttings of the new grape variety were sent to the Kentville research station (now known as the Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre) in Kentville, Nova Scotia. Here the grape was given the name L'Acadie blanc after Acadia, the former New France colony that is now part of The Maritimes in eastern Canada.〔 L'Acadie blanc is a complex hybrid with an extensive lineage that was mapped out by University of Guelph professor Helen Fisher. Within L'Acadie blanc's pedigree are members of several ''Vitis'' species including ''V. aestivalis'', ''V. berlandieri'', ''V. cinerea'', ''V. labrusca'', ''V. lincecumii'', ''V. riparia'', ''V. rupestris'' and ''V. vinifera''.
