Reinhard's Purple Sugar
A black cherry from German tomato breeder Reinhard Kraft. Huge yields of small to medium cherries on vigorous plants. Similar in colour to Black Cherry and Rosella. Excellent taste, good balance of sweet and acid with the lovely extra depth (umami?) that dark tomatoes have. With a little salt the flavour is rich, complex, almost like the flavour of red wine in cooking, with a lingering after taste. Better than Black Cherry and Rosella for me.
