The best varieties of technical grapes

Grapes are a delicious berry with a wide range of uses. Many people remember from childhood how they loved to eat grapes, but did not like to constantly pull the seeds out of it. But not only delicious, sometimes sour berries remain in our memory. Our taste is remembered by grape compotes and juices since childhood. Having already matured, many of us prefer stronger alcoholic drinks such as wine or cognac at a feast. It is necessary to make such dishes using special technologies and at the same time only from certain grape varieties. These varieties are called technical. Further we will talk about them.

Technical grape varieties are intended for processing berries. But this does not make grapes so sub-class that they are only suitable for processing. In general, people associate the word recycling with garbage. But this is fundamentally wrong. The processed product here turns out to be of high quality and tasty. Between all this, a reasonable question arises: are technical varieties processed because they are worse than table varieties?

The answer is unequivocal - no. It's just that everyone has their own purpose. For all people, something turns out better, something does not. Also in the grape species. By the way, some technical varieties can be used both for winemaking and for simple consumption. But the table categories are not intended for winemaking. So here, if you wish, you can speculate which view is worse. But let's not deal with comparisons, but let's talk about everything in order and begin the description.

A distinctive feature of technical grades

If the grapes were subdivided into types, then, therefore, these types are somewhat different. What is so remarkable about technical grape varieties? First of all, it is juiciness. The berries are very juicy, and for a reason. Well, judge for yourself how to extract juice from ordinary, "dry" berries? One berry of grapes of the technical variety of juice contains about 80% of the total mass. This is a lot.

The second distinguishing feature is the structure of the bunch. This grape has a low berry-to-comb mass ratio. Indeed, the berries in technical species are very small, and their total weight from one bunch is also not distinguished by high rates. Good or bad, you decide. But this is the case.

Harmonious taste is another important feature. Why is the taste called exactly harmonious? It's just that the ratio of sugar and acid is calculated for this berry. And the closer this ratio is to 2/1, the more balanced it will be. This ratio will be better perceived than 1.5 / 1. Although the latter is already a rather sour berry. But for technical categories, it is not only the ratio that is important, but also the acid content per liter and the percentage of sugar. There are even proportions for certain types of wines. For white wine, for example, grapes with a ratio of 19/8 will be taken. And for red - 21/9.

Similarities and differences with table varieties

If the presence of differences is already clear, then the presence of some similarities is not immediately clear. One, and probably the only one, is taste. Well, in fact, both those and other berries will be eaten with pleasure.

Everything else is a difference.These include:

• Berry size.
• The structure of the bunch.
• Plant care.
• Disease resistance.
• Scope of application.

Let's take a closer look at their description. The first two differences have already been mentioned earlier. But we will repeat that table varieties have both berries and bunches more in mass. Next - caring for the plant. Indeed, this is a very positive quality of technical grapes. They are much easier to care for than dining rooms. Technical ones are very unpretentious, they often do not require special pruning or soil. They are more resistant to frost than table grapes.

The next difference is disease resistance.

On average, industrial plants are more resistant to diseases and pests.

This does not mean that they all without exception have strong immunity, this is an average value. And this property is a real plus. You can be less worried that your crop will be devoured by pests, or the wood of the plant will flow with gum. Hence, leaving again is simplified.

IMPORTANT

This does not mean that caring for amouth is not necessary at all. No. It's just that worries have become a little less. And experiences diminished along with them. All plants require proper care and care must be taken!

Another difference is the scope. Table varieties can only be used for normal food consumption. While technical types of grapes have great potential for application. This, as it was already called, is wine, cognac, and other non-alcoholic drinks. You can also make dried fruits - raisins. And simple fresh consumption.

Also, the differences can be attributed to the requirements for the fruit. This refers to the requirements for appearance. Table grapes must be sold, they must be beautiful. But for technical varieties, this is not the most important criterion. Therefore, this trait can also be added to the differences.

The best grape varieties

What do we mean by the best? This is the highest performing grape in its distinctive criteria. This is, first of all, taste. To it can be added juiciness, care and resistance to frost and disease. We will divide all the best varieties according to their ripening period.

Very early:

• Crystal.
• Platovsky.

Early:

• Friendship.

Early-middle:

• Gechei zamatosh.
• Pineapple.
• Fortune.

Average:

• Odessa Muscat.
• Donutsky Muscat.

Mid-late:

• Floral.
• Antaeus of Magarach.
• The firstborn of the maharach.
• Regent.

This concludes the description of technical grapes. Whether it suits you or not - decide for yourself. But he actually has big advantages, unlike table varieties. If this species attracted you, then be sure to plant it on your site. We have the best varieties on our list. Choose the ripening period and grape variety. You will not regret your choice.

Technical varieties of grapes, in comparison with table varieties, have a fairly large percentage of juice in fruits. Technical grapes are not picky about growing conditions and care. Usually it is grown in spacious areas, mechanized for the purpose of winemaking.

Since grapes of technical varieties are intended for processing, its main distinguishing feature is the juice content

White Muscat grapes

Wine has an identical name. The grape variety White Muscat is used for the preparation of juices, dessert and table wines. Berry flavor with a nutmeg flavor. Their pulp is juicy with seeds. Leaves with pronounced serration with light green veins. Their edges are lighter. The yield can be 60-100 centners per hectare. Bunches are medium in size, cylindrical in shape. One brush weighing from 100 to 450 grams, with a length of 13-17 cm. Grapes ripen in 140 days, referred to as a medium-late species.

Its advantages are as follows:

• high capacity of sugar in berries;
• subtle aroma that gives off nutmeg odors;
• excellent raw material for the preparation of different types of wines;
• suitable for fresh consumption.

White Muscat also has its drawbacks:

• low resistance to disease;
• insufficient frost resistance;
• predisposition to peas.

White Muscat achieves the best quality on the southern coast of Crimea on moderately dry, slate, well-warmed slopes

Carefully choose a place for planting White Muscat. The terrain should be protected from cold winds, the land should be sufficiently moist with the ability to accumulate snow.

In autumn, plant seedlings in late September or early October. The seedlings should have a good root system and a mature vine. In the spring, plant only after the ground has warmed up to +12 degrees. This is usually the end of April.

To get high fruiting, pollination is additionally carried out. It is better to use rootstock pollen. So that the bushes are not thickened, they break off excess young shoots and control the growth of grafted vines, preventing them from moving to their root system. For this, they make catarovka.

Aligote grapes

Aligote grapes have a common taste, but this does not make it any less valuable technical variety for winemakers. The distinctive external characteristics of the variety are dark green leaves with slightly curved edges. The petioles and processes are wine-red in color. Fruiting from 90 to 140 centners per hectare. The length of the brush is 15 cm, the width is 10 cm, and the weight reaches 105 grams.

Due to its good flavor ratio, Aligote is ideal for making table wine, juices, champagne

Ripe berries of yellow-green color interspersed with brown. Ripening of fruits occurs after 130 days - this is an early-middle period. The harvest ripens in late August and early September. Aligote grapes contain up to 78% juice.

The disadvantages include:

• possible disease with gray rot, mildew;
• medium resistance to frost;
• transportable properties are low.

A good place to plant is near the forest belt. Where snow lingers, where moisture is better retained. In such places, bud opening is delayed. Light soils with good water permeability are good for this grape. In foothill areas, they are used for planting in the ground with an admixture of rocky debris.

Agliote can be planted in the fall before frost or in the spring when the soil warms up. The shredding is best done in early spring before the buds have blossomed, because the grapes in question open their buds earlier than other species.

Isabella grape

This is a very famous grape variety, one of the favorites of home winemakers. The shape of Isabella's bunches is cylindrical, not thick. The color of the berries is dark blue with a well-visible waxy bloom. The peel of the berries is dense with a strawberry flavor. 70 centners of fruits are harvested from one hectare. On average, the weight of a bunch is 130-150 grams. The bunches ripen in 150-180 days. Isabella's bushes grow strongly and require support.

In addition to the ability to endure all the hardships of winter, such grapes have a high immunity to dangerous fungal diseases

This type of grape rightfully occupies a leading position among technical types for a long time. It has the following advantages:

• unpretentiousness in the choice of land;
• good frost resistance (it is allowed not to cover for the winter);
• disease resistance;
• has a large number of nutrients for the human body.

In some countries, Isabella is forbidden to grow as a raw material for cooking, as they have revealed a large percentage of the capacity of methanol. But this opinion is controversial. There is a judgment that this is a special trick of the competitors. No matter what they say, grapes have a good market sales. Many people prefer wine only from this grape variety.

Isabella reacts negatively to an excess of limestone, therefore it is recommended to plant it in lands with a low content of this substance. For Isabella, too much moisture is better than drought.With a lack of water, leaves fall and the percentage of fruitfulness decreases. But also in the lowlands, where constant moisture should not be planted grapes. Isabella does not feel well in places with insufficient ventilation (near fences). Planting time is the same with other species.

Important:

1. Systematically loosen the soil near the bush.
2. Apply mineral fertilizing three times per season.
3. Apply organic fertilizing once every two years.
4. Mulch the ground with peat and sawdust for the winter.
5. To systematically carry out the procedure for pruning the vine, so the variety is very vigorous and thickens.

Chardonnay grapes

A distinctive characteristic of Chardonnay grapes are medium-sized leaves with embossed wrinkles. Ripe berries are small (16 mm in diameter), have a white-green color and thin skin. With a pleasant taste, juicy pulp. Chardonnay gives an average yield of 50-70 centners per hectare. The weight of one bunch is no more than 90 grams, about 13 cm long and up to 10 cm wide. Fruits ripen 140 days from the moment the buds bloom. The variety has excellent taste.

Chardonnay is an internationally renowned technical grape that has given its name to many of the wines produced from it.

But Chardonnay has its drawbacks:

• prone to defeat mildew and oidium;
• if the summer is rainy, there is a chance of rotting;
• no high resistance to frost;
• kidneys develop early, may freeze.

The described variety prefers lime-clay soil. When disembarking, it is advisable to choose an elevated area or western slopes. It is recommended to plant in early spring, after the last frost or in the middle of autumn, before frost appears. It is important not to allow the vines to thicken and not to overload the shoots. Leave 10 to 12 eyes during trimming. It is important to model the bush so that there are four fruit links available. Growing uncovered grapes, they make stems from 120 cm in height.

Cabernet Sauvignon grapes

Many types of red wines are associated with this name. Winemakers rate Cabaret Sauvignon as one of the best technical varieties. A distinctive feature is the leaves of a dark green with five lobes and pronounced dissections and triangular teeth.

The variety appeared in the process of natural crossing of grape varieties such as "Cabernet Franc" and "Sauvignon Blanc"

The berries are round, dark blue in color with a prominent waxy sheen. Their skin is dense, the taste of the pulp resembles currant, which creates a distinctive astringency of the wine. Productivity from 60 to 90 centners per hectare. The bunch has an average weight of 70 grams, with a length of 12-15 cm and a width of up to eight cm. The wine variety ripens in 165 days. This grape variety is endowed with high resistance to gray rot, mildew. Cabernet Sauvignon has excellent taste. But sometimes there is a shedding of the ovary and the smallness of the berries.

The variety is moderately frost-proof. It is good to grow it in warm or temperate climates.... The palatability of the fruit improves under these conditions. These grapes develop very well on sloping terrain. But the Cabernet Sauvignon bush is not picky about the ground. The time for disembarkation is the same with other species: early spring, mid-autumn. By pruning one-year-old shoots, the fruiting of the lower eyes is improved.

When growing grapes for vintage wines, they shorten the length of the fruit-bearing arrows and reduce the stress on the bush. It is better to form high-stemmed bushes with a slightly hanging young growth. To do this, the width between the rows is left 3-4 meters, and one-year processes are cut off by 5-6 eyes.

Technical grape varieties for the production of cognac

Cognac is included in the group of alcoholic beverages, the strength of which is at least 40%. This alcoholic drink is made from white table wine with a harmonious taste of Muscat. White table wines, in turn, are made from white and rosé varieties grown in areas with calcareous, stony or clay-calcareous soil. White table grape varieties for cognac are grown on well-moisturized soils, since dry soils prevent the formation of aromatic substances.

When choosing white and pink grape varieties, it is important to consider the ripening period of a particular variety. Overripe berries or berries that did not have time to collect the required amount of sugar are unsuitable for the production of cognac. The signs of ripeness of white and pink grape varieties are:

• Uniform color of berries: pink for pink varieties; yellow color of berries for white varieties;
• When the berries are crushed, the consistency of the pulp is soft and sticky;
• Seeds darken easily move away from the pulp;
• The skin on the berries is thin, easily separated from the pulp;
• The comb of the bunches becomes dark brown, becomes rough, lignified.

The above signs are subjective. The most accurate method for determining the ripeness of grapes is chemical analysis. The varieties of grapes suitable for the manufacture of cognac include varieties of medium early ripening, with high frost resistance. Read also the article: → "The best early and mid-season grape varieties for the Moscow region."

Consider the traditional grape varieties that are grown in our country:

• Aligote is the best variety for making table white wines. This variety ripens early, around the beginning of September. Resistant to a wide range of diseases, except for mildew diseases;
• Sylvaner is a high-yielding variety that ripens in the first half of September. The berries are light green with brown specks. Does not suffer from drought, frost-resistant, does not require shelter for the winter. Resistant to mildew and powdery mildew.
• Cleret is a medium-yielding variety with an average ripening period of 160 to 170 days (ripens in early October).Berries with a greenish-yellow tint, when fully ripe, the berries acquire a golden hue. The yield is average. High resistance to mildew and powdery mildew. It is not affected by leaf rollers and spider mites. High frost resistance to drought and moisture resistance.
• Swim is a vigorous variety. The yield is average. Ripens in 150-160 days. The berries are white with a greenish tinge. Frost resistance down to -23 ° C. Affected by mildew, moderately resistant to other diseases. Not affected by phylloxera and spider mites.
• Semillon is a medium-sized variety, medium-late ripening period from 130 to 150 days. Berries are golden yellow in color with a waxy bloom. Low frost resistance. It is affected by mildew, oidium and gray rot.

• Grushevsky white - vigorous, with a late ripening period. Ripens in 145-150 days. The berries are greenish-white. Frost-resistant variety down to -29 ° C. High resistance to diseases and pests. The only drawback is low heat resistance.

Tip # 2. It is not recommended to use isable grape varieties for the production of cognac. The pulp of isabella varieties is distinguished by a viscous and slimy structure. For the preparation of cognac, a must from a transparent and spreading pulp is used.

White grape varieties are left to ripen on the trellis until early October to fully ripen and accumulate the required amount of sugar

The best grape varieties for transportation and storage

Not all technical grades are suitable for long-term storage and long-distance transportation. There are several grape varieties suitable for storage between 20 ° C and 24 ° C and for long distance transportation.

Grapes are ideal raw materials for making homemade wine. However, not all varieties of this culture grow well in the middle lane and are suitable for processing.

Technical (wine) grapes are not as beautiful as table grapes. But on the other hand, it is less whimsical, and the berries are distinguished by a high sugar content (19-26%) and a high content of juice (75-88%), which makes them ideal raw materials for winemaking. Wine grapes are also used for the preparation of juices, compotes, soft drinks, etc.
