Reliance produces large clusters of round, red, medium-sized berries with tender skin non-adhering to flesh. Reliance grapes are pink to red when fully mature, offering a delicate Labrusca flavor and aroma, without noticeable seed traces. This variety is ideal for fresh consumption, juices, and jellies, thriving in USDA Hardiness Zones suitable for grape cultivation.
