It is a mid season producer with large clusters of medium sized bronze grapes with thick skins. The shiny large broad leaves are dark green and bluntly toothed with shades of yellow to red in fall. Grows best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Carlos is self pollinating, begins producing at 2 years, and has resistance to pests and diseases.
