Those varieties include Sun World’s AutumnCrisp, Midnight Beauty and Scarlotta Seedless,
Oppy will be working with retailers on South American grape promotions soon, and Sun World varieties complement the company’s current grape program, according to the release.

“It’s an exciting time to be in the grape category, with a wide range of varieties produced by top growers in several countries,” Poulos said in the release.
