Wine quality is average. The fruit may be appropriate as a dessert grape. The Ehner Swenson hybrid Esprit is a seedling of Villard blanc. 

Mortensen C5-50 (W1521 X Villard Blanc) x Fla. F8-35 (Norris x Alden)... 

L Acadie blanc (V53621 Cascade x Seyve-Villard 14-287). This cultivar was actually named in Nova Scotia by the Grand Pre Winery in the 1970s. HRIO did not consider that it had potential for Ontario because of its low acidity and low cropping potential compared with its sibling, Veeblanc. However, nnder maritime conditions, the acidity was retained. Flavours include citrus and grassy notes.
