Candy Crunch is an elliptoid-shaped, medium sized, seedless, black grape. The skin colour is better described as a deep purple to blue which can lighten towards the stem-end. The skin has a slight crunch and is evident on chewing, but not to the detriment of the experience and with only minor bitterness. The flesh is reasonably firm, and the combination of the skin and the flesh produces a mild crunch to the berry. Taste and sweetness are very good, with quite a strong sweet wine flavour (said to be like Labrusca).
Candy Crunch is a mid to late season grape.
