Red Globe is a red seeded grape. The berries are large and round and vary from light pink to dark red in colour. The eating experience is one of meaty, plump, crunchy fruit with good juice content. There is a good level of sweetness with relatively low acids, but flavour is muted. True, there are some pips in each berry, but there is an art to enjoying these sweet bombs without splitting the seed husk with your teeth.
Plump, sweet, seeded.
