White Seedless:
The Emerald harvest in Central Queensland has now commenced. The eating quality of white seedless fruit from the Emerald is still variable as the acid levels in some of the bunches on the vines remains high. Care should be taken in ordering white seedless fruit until late November. Talk to your GrapeConnect Wholesale Partner about the maturity levels in the consignments they are receiving. All GrapeConnect growers are testing and reporting in the sugar and acid levels of fruit being consigned to the central markets. |

Cardinals & Flames:
Cardinals and Flame Seedless grapes are also being harvested across the Emerald region. There is considerable variation in both the visual and eating quality of these varieties being sent to market. |
