Autumn Royal is a deep purple to black seedless grape that bursts with rich, sweet flavour and crisp texture. Known for its large berries and elongated clusters, this variety is one of the best-tasting late-season table grapes. It holds well on the vine and in storage, making it a favourite for fresh eating and backyard growers alike. Excellent for kids’ lunchboxes, drying into raisins, or simply plucking off the vine and enjoying fresh.
