Coachella is a seedless green grape or medium to large size, 17-21mm. The shape of the berries is elongated, though some can often be more round. Flesh is crisp and crunchy and the skin has no discernable impact on the bite or the mouth-feel. This is quite a ‘meaty’ berry, which is a distinction from Sugraone. Sweetness is good, and there is a good acid balance which will appeal to many people. Skin colour is more creamy-white than Thompson Seedless or Sugraone.
Coachella Seedless® is an early season grape, maturing 10-15 days before Thompson Seedless. Berry count, size and yield are all superior to Sugraone.
