Abstract

A new and distinct variety of grapevine is provided which abundantly forms attactive medium-to-large seedless berries having a rose-pink skin coloration in medium-to-large clusters. The fruit displays a sweet crisp flavor and is firm in texture. The fruit commonly is ready for harvest during October in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California, U.S.A., and displays good eating qualities as a table grape. The fruit firmness renders the fruit well amenable for handling, shipping, and storage.
