Discover the grape variety: Fantasy seedless

Cross between B36-27 and P64-18 obtained in the United States (California) by David Wilder Ramming and Ronald Tarailo and where it is cultivated since 1994. The slightly foxed taste of its flesh makes us think that there was an intervention of a direct producer hybrid itself with a foxed taste.
