Sweet for Grapa

Israeli grape breeder Grapa, which has its administrative base in Cyprus, has become more prominent in the UK in the last 12 months through the introduction of its Grapaes variety. The secret to the grape’s success is held within its name - but it was the former rather than the latter part of that which got supermarket suppliers in the UK standing up and taking note. There was a discernible gap in the market for a consistent performing early variety, and Early Sweet™ fits that bill very well, reports Tommy Leighton.
