Autumn King Grapes

Delano, CA

Hail to the King... Autumn King that is. This late-season green seedless grape is expected to turn up the heat on the retail scene with its powerful combo of "enormous size" and "incredible taste." This episode takes us to Delano, California where we catch up with Nick Dulcich of Sunlight International Sales as he discusses the difficulties in growing and harvesting the Autumn King over the last six years. The Autumn King originated as a USDA commercial variety and is expected to offer serious competition for the Thompson grape, especially at the retail level. - Whit Grebitus
