Overview
The first grapes of the northern-hemisphere season
Egypt opens the northern-hemisphere grape season in May, weeks before Europe’s own harvest. Early Sweet and Superior Seedless come first, followed by Flame, Crimson, Red Globe and Autumn Royal into October, so one supplier can cover a long summer programme.
We pack in punnets or clamshells for retail and in 5 kg bulk cartons for wholesale, with SO₂ pads and liners where the voyage requires them. Berry size, bunch weight, colour and Brix are agreed per variety.
