'Ga. 6-1-269' is an hermaphroditic muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia) with bronze berries that was released by the University of Georgia (UGA) College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. Yields of ‘Ga. 6-1-269’ in Tifton, GA and Citra, FL trials were similar to other popular fresh-market muscadine cultivars. Berry size is very large (15-16 g) and similar to the cultivars 'Ga. 6-2-26' (Paulk®) and 'Supreme'. Fruit rot susceptibility of ‘Ga. 6-1-269’ was less than the bronze check cultivar 'Ga. 1-1-48' (Hall®) and similar to the black check cultivars 'Ga. 6-2-26' and 'Supreme'. Harvest time of ‘Ga. 6-1-269’ was about 5 days after 'Ga. 1-1-48' and about a week before 'Ga. 6-2-26' and 'Supreme'. ‘Ga. 6-1-269’ is recommended as an early-midseason fresh market bronze muscadine cultivar.
