Discover the grape variety: Victoria
An intraspecific cross between the cardinal and the Beirut date tree - the latter also bears the synonyms afuz (or afus) ali or regina - obtained in 1964 by Victoria Lepadatu and Gheorghe Condei of the Horticultural Research Institute of Dragasani (Romania). It should be noted that a Russian variety of table grape bears the same name, but it is unlikely to be confused with it because its berries are purplish pink to dark red when fully ripe. Victoria is found in Italy, Austria, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, South Africa... almost unknown in France, registered in the Official Catalogue of table grape varieties, list A2.
