Sugar Crisp is a late-season seedless green grape with medium to large elongated berries (18-20mm). The skin is a pale-green to pale-yellow colour and quite thin, though is sometimes noticeable while chewing, and can convey a very slight astringency. The flesh is very crisp and has excellent levels of sweetness, low acids with a mild flavour. Brix levels are typically 17-20o.
Growers are attracted to Sugar Crisp due to its very late harvest, good productivity, large berries, colour and sweetness.
