Scarlotta Seedless is a late-season red seedless grape. The berries are large, elongated with a berry colour that is red to dark-red. The fruit is sweet with minimal acid tang and a mild flavour. The skin is of medium thickness and offers some resistance when biting and chewing, with a slight astringency. The flesh texture is of light crispness.
Growers like Scarlotta for its ability to attain a red colouration without treatment, even in deep shade, and to lengthen the season with late harvest and good storage potential.
