Description
The 'Ampelia Candin' vine is a variety of medium vigour, quite fertile. It produces medium to large, fairly compact clusters. The berries are spherical, the skin is moderately thick, a beautiful golden yellow, very pruinose, giving it an opaque appearance. The pulp is juicy, with a fairly pronounced muscat flavour, very pleasant. The 'Ampelia Candin vine' is quite resistant to diseases. It is perfect for amateur gardens.
The wine grape vine (Vitis vinifera) grew wild over 5000 years ago. Its introduction to France for cultivation was done by the Romans. Numerous hybrids have been created to vary colours, flavours, and uses. The 'Ampelia Candin' vine is a white table grape, an interspecific hybrid of the vitis genus, created by INRA Bordeaux. It resulted from a cross-breeding: 7489 INRA Bdx (direct white producer hybrid) x Muscat de Hambourg. It was obtained in 1981.
A vigorous climbing shrub, the 'Ampelia Candin' vine reaches up to 5 m (16ft). It is easy to train. Its final shape will depend on the pruning practised. Due to its semi-erect habit, it is preferable to train it on wire and trellis it well. Moderate long pruning is recommended. It likes sunny situations. Quite resistant to diseases, this variety is well adapted to amateur gardens due to the almost absence of treatments it requires.
Its foliage, deeply cut, is a deep green in summer and turns the most beautiful gold in autumn. Its flowering in clusters occurs in May, offering very small white-pink flowers. Its table grapes, in medium clusters, ripen in October, depending on the regions. The berries are spherical, the skin is moderately thick, a beautiful golden yellow, very pruinose, giving it an opaque appearance. The pulp is juicy, with a fairly pronounced muscat flavor, very pleasant.
Grapes are consumed as table fruit, fresh, but also in jam, jelly, fruit juice, pastries, and of course, after vinification, as wine.

Planting and care
Since the ravages of phylloxera in the late 19th century, the vine is obligatorily grafted onto different resistant rootstocks adapted to various types of soil. These rootstocks come from American varieties. Plant the 'Ampelia Candin' vine in autumn, in a deep, well-drained, even rocky, arid, poor and chalky soil, in a sunny location sheltered from strong winds. Incorporate 3 or 4 handfuls of fertiliser for fruit trees and 2 kg of composted manure for each vine-plant into the planting soil. The roots should not come into contact with the manure. After planting, prune above 2 large buds to obtain the growth of two branches. Keep the most vigorous one and tie it to a stake. This will be followed by training pruning.
The vine does not require regular fertilisation for good yield, quite the opposite. Enrich the soil with potash slag, crushed horn or iron chelate, only every 2-3 years.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
