🍇 Cardinal
An early table grape with red berries, bred in California.
Cardinal is an early table grape with red berries. It was bred in California, in the United States. The berries are large, firm and dark red, with fleshy pulp and moderate sweetness. It ripens early, so it is one of the first to appear in the market.
It is a table grape, meant for eating. It is rarely used for wine and is more often eaten fresh. Cardinal likes warmth and tolerates transport well. It is grown in different countries, including Eastern Europe.
The variety took part in breeding. It can be found in the pedigree of several other table grapes, such as Victoria, Irinka, Arcadia and others. Breeders value it for its large berries and early ripening.
The berries are bright and handsome, so the grape is popular at markets. It is usually sold soon after harvest.
