Early-season green and red seedless grape varieties are exceptional this year and shipping now, under Sunlight International’s Pretty Lady for the Summer promotion.
Despite the drought, this crop already has high brix levels that are expected to increase, along with excellent size and brilliant flavor, making for a vintage year for Sunlight International. Sunlight’s growing and farming operations averted what Mother Nature threw their way and this year’s weather became ideal for growing conditions.
“What else makes high quality table grapes happier than sunny, warm and dry conditions?” says George Galloway, Sales of Sunlight International. “Between the unusual warm weather trend, harvest being a few days earlier than last year and new vineyards in the Maricopa, California area, we are beyond excited about this strong start to the season and can’t wait for consumers to see our beautiful grapes in our one-of-a-kind retail promotional bins and bags.”
Shipping as of June 24, from the Maricopa, California region, an ample supply of the popular Flame Seedless has tested at 19 brix at harvest. Sunlight International’s Flame Seedless have always been a prevalent variety, as Jakov P. Dulcich planted the very same variety nearly 40 years ago. In the next few days the new flavorful Lucky Red variety will mature and orders can be placed early July.
The new green seedless variety, Early Sweet, is round, plump and flavorful. At harvest, on June 22, this new variety was at 21 brix and will only get sweeter. In the next few days Sunlight International will phase into their new variety, Sweet Sixteen, followed by Esteem Green Seedless.
Sunlight International will have a steady supply of various red and green seedless to enjoy throughout the season and black varieties to follow in mid-July. Pretty Lady for the summer and Green Emerald program promotional resources are available upon request. Each program includes full color display bins, posters and eye-catching materials that will best present the largest, crispiest, and greatest-tasting California table grapes in retail aisles.
