A seedless table grape that grows well in USDA Hardiness Zones 4 through 8. It's disease resistant, tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, and produces excellent-quality, mild, fruity-flavored pink grapes for eating, juice, or even wine making.
The real prize, though, is the spring growth. The leaf buds start out delicate pink and become pink and green, before completely unfurling into a mass of bright green leaves. Inconspicuous but heavily fragrant flowers perfume the air in May and June, followed by the pink clusters of grapes.

Had this fruiting for a few years in Zone 5. They sure look very tasty, but I don't think I've managed to taste a fully ripe one yet. The raccoons really seem to love them though! The Japanese beetles rate them quite highly also.
