The best varieties of green grapes

. 

Many people mistakenly say that green grapes are used as a raw material for making the world famous Portuguese green wine. However, in fact, this wine is called green not by color, but by geography of production, and can be green, and pink, or red, depending on the composition and variety of grapes. As for the green grape berries, this is a variety of ordinary white grapes, which grows, including in the southern latitudes of our country, and is represented by both technical (for the production of wines and cognacs) and table (for fresh consumption) varieties.

Useful properties of green grapes

The composition of green grapes contains almost the same nutrients as in other varieties. True, it turned out that berries of light colors, in contrast to intensely colored ones, are poorer in antioxidants, but tannins, organic acids, vitamins and microelements in green berries are not less.

Two hundred grams of green grapes contain a quarter of the daily value of vitamin K, almost the same amount of copper, 15% potassium and vitamin C each, 10% are carbohydrates, tocopherol, magnesium, iron, manganese and dietary fiber and 5% - phosphorus, calcium and vitamin B1.

The pits and skins contain most of the phytonutrients, phenolic acids and flavonoids, and there are also many in the pulp and berry skins. Due to the presence of such a variety of nutrients, green grapes are indispensable for the nutrition of patients with disorders in the digestive system, as well as those at risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Albarinje grapes, like other green varieties, have a high nutritional value.

The most common varieties of green grapes

Light, including green grape varieties are more thermophilic, but recently there has been a noticeable expansion of green vine plantations towards the northern latitudes. Thanks to proper care, it is possible to grow green grapes of early maturing varieties there, which have time to ripen and collect a sufficient amount of sucrose before the start of the autumn rainy season. If we talk about the varieties most widespread throughout the territory of viticulture, then table grapes are represented by the following:

• Chasloy white;
• Husayna white (ladies' fingers);
• Oval kishmish and others.

Among the technical varieties, the most common are:

• Albarinier;
• White Muscat;
• Aligote;
• Riesling and others.

There are also universal varieties of green grapes that can be used both as table and for wine production: Albillo, Aurora and others.

All these varieties contain substances useful for the human body and necessary for winemaking, but some of them require special care, so it is worth dwelling on this issue in more detail.

Varieties of green grapes and care features

Domestic winegrowers have long identified for themselves the most acceptable varieties of grapes in terms of cultivation and care with medium frost resistance, which allows them to preserve the vitality of the vine even in severe winter cold. Among the best varieties that are always popular with consumers, there are several varieties adapted to our latitudes.

White miracle

This truly marvelous grape belongs to the table hybrid varieties with low to medium vigor. The bunches of the White Miracle are extraordinary in size and can weigh up to 900 g.

The color of large oval berries is light green, amber when fully ripe and exposed to sunlight. The composition of the pulp is dense, fleshy, the taste is sweet, refreshing, the yield is consistently average.

The positive qualities of this variety are its unsurpassed taste and impeccable presentation, as well as the simultaneous ripening of berries on a bunch. The grapes are not afraid of transportation, they retain their fresh appearance for a long time.

The disadvantage is the fragility of annual shoots.

Leaving: planting grapes should be in warm, well-permeable soil, planting time - 2nd decade of April - end of May. The planting pit should be covered with a mixture, which includes humus, wood ash and sand in equal parts.

The established cuttings need to be provided with regular care:

• loosen the soil, destroy weeds;
• remove surface roots;
• carry out spring preventive treatment;
• water moderately;
• feed with fertilizers;
• tie up elongated shoots;
• be sure to provide winter shelter.

Chardonnay

The variety belongs to the technical variety of grapes and is the best for making white wine.

The cylindrical bunches consist of round, medium-sized, green-white berries with a thin but tough skin. The pulp is sweet, aromatic. The yield is low, the ripening period is 140 days.

In addition to the obvious advantages (unsurpassed taste and ideal composition for making high-quality wine), Chardonnay also has significant disadvantages:

• susceptibility to infection with mildew and powdery mildew;
• a tendency to decay;
• instability before spring frosts;
• tendency to "pea" (berries in a bunch become smaller "in peas").

Chardonnay remains the most favorite variety of winegrowers.

Care: plant better in stony or clay-lime soil, preferably on the western slopes. Recommended:

• application of nitrogen fertilizers in spring and organic and mineral fertilizers in early autumn;
• removal of shoots in order to avoid compaction of the crown;
• pruning leaving 10-12 eyes.

Usually, with proper care and favorable weather conditions, this variety does not show characteristic flaws.

• easy infection with gray mold, anthracnose and other diseases in wet weather;
• instability to attacks of phylloxera and spider mites;
• instability to frost.

Muscat is afraid of heavy clay soil, wet lowlands, it is preferable to plant it on the sunny side of the site. Additional care measures:

• thinning bushes, cutting out excess and damaged shoots;
• in order to increase productivity - artificial pollination, grafting.

White Muscat grapes prefer sunny locations

Bazhena

The Bazhena variety belongs to the table hybrid vigorous varieties. It does not need additional pollination, it has a high yield and an early ripening period - only 100 days.

Conical and cylindrical, of medium density, the bunches consist of very large berries (weighing up to 15 g), elongated and light green in color. In full maturity, the berries acquire a salad and yellowish color, the pulp becomes fleshy, juicy, with a high sugar content in the composition. The berry taste is sweet with a delicate apple and cherry aftertaste.

The advantage of the variety is its high transportability and impeccable presentation, not to mention the taste and eye-pleasing color of the berries.

Given the significant disadvantage of the variety - low frost resistance, it needs to be provided with appropriate care:

• cover tightly for the winter so that the roots do not freeze;
• trim to 6-7 eyes;
• apply mineral and organic fertilizers for feeding;
• timely remove dried and weak shoots;
• carry out preventive treatment at least 2 times a season.

Valentine

A table grape with strong vigor, Valentina has many benefits. The bunch contains large, slightly oblong berries, first light green, and later amber yellow, which are not too tightly closed.

The variety is characterized by a consistently high yield, resistance to gray rot and mildew, good transportability. If the advantages are obvious, then the disadvantages are the excessive tenderness of the skin, which bursts after heavy rains, and brown blotches on the surface of the berries, which many mistake for scab.

Caring for the Valentine variety does not differ in specialized features, except that pruning on this grape is carried out by a long method - leaving 8 eyes. All other care measures are practically the same as procedures for other varieties.

It has been established that the berries of green grape varieties are not as high in calories as varieties of intensely red and blue flowers, therefore, such grapes can be used in both medicinal and dietary nutrition.
