Delight (Queen of the Vineyard x Thompson Seedless). Bred by H. P. Olmo at the University of California at Davis. A sister seedling of Perlette, it's the better of the two in some ways. The fruit is sweeter with measurably higher sugar, ripening a bit earlier and with skin that cracks less than that of Perlette. Flavor is a light muscat. The shoots have a tendency to short internodes that make the vines more bushy. The result is a vine that is slower to establish, but easier to handle. Easily trained to cordons with spurs.
