Queen Rouge grapes are a medium to large varietal with densely clustered bunches averaging 400 to 600 grams in weight. Each grape has an elongated, plump, oval shape with a broad center tapering to bluntly pointed ends.Individual grapes are also allowed to grow anywhere between 12 to 18 grams in weight and are attached to thick, fibrous stems.
Queen Rouge grapes have thin, smooth, and taut skin, creating an initially crisp mouthfeel. The skin has a red-purple to dark red hue, often covered in a light, powdery bloom. This bloom is edible and is easily removed. The skin is also tightly adhered to the flesh and cannot be easily peeled. Underneath the surface, the flesh showcases muted yellow, orange, or red tones with green accents and is aqueous, tender, and succulent with a soft consistency.
Queen Rouge grapes emit a refreshing, musky, berry-like aroma when ripe, and the bunches should be uniform in color and firm. Ripe Queen Rouge grapes are entirely edible, including their skin. These grapes has a rich, sweet, honeyed, floral, and subtly fruity flavor.
