Vitis vinifera Autumn Royal' Table Grape - Seedless red variety

The 'Autumn Royal' table grape is appreciated for its large clusters without pips with a black skin. The berries are big and elongated, with a thin skin and a yellow, sweet and crisp flesh. The harvest takes place between late September and late November, depending on the regions. Vigorous, this vine with an upright habit thrives in the sun in well-drained soil. Train it against a well-exposed wall or let it run on a trellis or a pergola.

Like all grapevines, Vitis vinifera 'Autumn Royal' belongs to the Vitaceae family. The vine is a sarmentous and climbing bush that forms, over time, a trunk, often knotty and twisted. Its long stems, or canes, bear green, cut and toothed leaves. They offer pretty autumn colors, ranging from yellow to orange. In spring (May-June), its flowering remains fairly discreet. These are small green flowers gathered in rather dense clusters.
'Autumn Royal' is an American variety, born in 1981 in California from the cross-breeding of 'Autumn Black' and 'C74-1 Fresno'. It is part of the apyrenus table grapevines whose berries are seedless. These varieties are the result of long cross-breeding work carried out by vine experts. They are particularly appreciated by grape enthusiasts who enjoy them without thinking about it. This variety is still relatively unknown in France due to its late ripeness: fruiting occurs late and you will harvest its clusters between late September and late November depending on the climate. It is an easy and disease-resistant variety. It can be susceptible to mildew in very humid regions. Moderately productive, the harvest varies from one year to another (tendency to alternate bearing).

Like all table grapevines, plant your 'Autumn Royal' vine in the sun, trained against a wall that is well-exposed, on a trellis or a pergola. Planting in a pot on a terrace is also possible. This plant, both decorative and delicious, will find its place in all gardens. Its seedless berries are best enjoyed fresh, just picked, or in a fruit salad, as juice, or to garnish a fruit tart.
