The best dessert grape varieties with a description and a brief description

Growing a decent harvest of early-maturing varieties in the Ural vineyards, in Bashkiria or in Siberia and the Far East used to be a wonder, now it is a common phenomenon, spreading even among inexperienced gardeners. In the southern regions of our country and in Ukraine, mid-season and late table and universal varieties of thermophilic culture are successfully grown.

Most often, novice gardeners do not attach importance to the names of hybrids, preferring to work on "white" and "black" grapes. But knowing the names of species and varieties of grapes with white, dark purple and pink fruits, you can easily understand the agricultural technology of culture and adapt to their characteristics.

The best varieties of white dessert grapes

White-fruited table grapes are good both fresh and processed for compotes and jams. New varieties, developed by breeders, make it possible to obtain large, juicy berries of early and mid-season varieties in the southern regions and in the harsh northern ones. A vine with milky white fruits is a natural phenomenon, the result of a mutation of wild-growing grapes that have lost the ability to produce anthocyanins, which are responsible for the dark color of the berries..

To select the best grape varieties, they are judged according to the following criteria:

1. yield;
2. quality characteristics of fruits (sugar content and acidity);
3. resistance to diseases of the vine;
4. frost resistance.

Each person has their own preferences. Sometimes large, beautiful berries of modern breeding varieties with a fresh taste may seem unclaimed and ordinary to someone, these gardeners prefer sweet, but small and loose clusters of raisins. For other grape lovers, not only the qualitative characteristics of the berries are important, but also decorativeness, the adaptation of the vine to certain climatic conditions. There are dozens of the newest varieties that are still difficult to evaluate, but they already have high yields and a bright, rich fruit taste.... For example, Atlantic, a dessert variety with pink, elongated fruits, juicy and aromatic, with floral-fruity notes; nutmeg variety Silver; Alibaba with harmonious berry taste and black-fruited Carmen; an unusual variety Zephyr with raspberry-pink tassels and a Rostov hybrid Anyuta with the aroma of a tea rose and dense pulp.

The finest versatile table grape varieties

Lydia is the most common versatile variety, the juicy, sweet fruits of which with a spicy skin are loved by many gardeners. The vine is obtained from seedlings of the wild growing Vitis labrusca. Thanks to its powerful stem and decorative liana, the isabelle variety has spread not only as a table-technical grape, but also as an ornamental culture. Productivity - up to 25-30 kg per bush. An average bunch weighs about 400 g. Overripe berries crumble and rot, a ripe harvest (after 150–160 days) is ideal for juices and wines.

Universal variety Lydia

Lydia ripens in mid-September, but we begin to pluck the first berries in mid-August. The fruits become deep red, juicy and aromatic, only slightly sour. If there is no alternative, at the end of August Lydia is a worthy berry dessert on the festive table. Berries are rarely affected by mildew and powdery mildew; wasps are also not very interested in fruits due to the astringency of the skin and sourness of the pulp. At the end of September - at the beginning of October, we pick off the last bunches. At this time of the year, they become very fragrant, lined with the first frosts, acquire a honey flavor and practically do not taste bitter. Such "late" grape clusters produce an amazing compote, fragrant and full-bodied.

Lydia grows in a well-warmed sunny place and is always watered and fed. Exclusively due to the attentive attitude, the berries of an ordinary "average" universal variety do not peas, do not crack, very rarely spoil and can hang on the vine until the November frost. This prolongs the freshness and shelf life of the crop, which in favorable years can exceed all statistical averages. Record - 60 kg of selected berries from an 8-year-old bush. But the bush is quite powerful, formed by one side (two "shoulders") on the gazebo, the other (2 branches) - on a metal support fixed to the brick wall of a residential building. That is, the vine is located in a place sheltered from the winds, takes heat from the wall and regularly receives watering with settled, warm water and is fed with organic matter (up to 6 times per summer). This ensures a stable yield and sweetness of the smallest and unripe berries.

Despite the tart skin and the presence of up to 4 seeds, grapes are well complemented by canned compote and jam. It is difficult to believe that the variety is not very popular due to its simplicity of tasting qualities and rare, light bunches. We love the imperfect, simple taste of Lydia grapes for the bright, rich aroma and preservation of the fruits indoors at a temperature of +15 + 20 ° С for up to 2 months.

Hungarian white pearl universal grade suitable for processing and fresh consumption... Amber-yellow, round fruits with subtle nutmeg notes grow on conical clusters. The vine ripens by 80%. Fruit cluster weight - 150-200 g. Pruning - 6-8 buds. Sugar content - 20%, acidity - 7 g / l. A shrub with an average ripening period (120-140 days) is grown in Belarus and Ukraine, in the Urals and Siberia, as well as in central Russia.

Universal White Pearl

Table-technical grade Black Pearl is a relative of Magarachi, clusters of about 300 g, berries are round, dark blue in color, with sourness and light strawberry nutmeg. Sugar content - 24%, acidity - 6 g / l. Cut grapes for 3-4 eyes, yield in favorable years - up to 15 kg from one bush. A frost-resistant variety of domestic selection was bred in Tula specifically for the production of high-quality dessert wines.

Variety for food and winemaking - Black Pearl

Pink Muscat is a medium-sized table-wine hybrid with bunches of up to 0.2 kg, oval, pink-red berries with a waxy coating. Fruits are fragrant, with floral notes, often used for winemaking, they will be an excellent berry dessert on the table. Average yield - 4-6 kg per bush. The variety is vulnerable to temperature extremes, is affected by powdery mildew and requires fertile soils and fertilizing.

Grape variety Muscat pink

Chassela white, pink and nutmeg is a grape variety that is often referred to as a universal variety. The hybrids are similar in their tasting characteristics, Chassela white (yellow-white, round berries, bunches weighing 190 g) ripens earlier than pink (pink-raspberry fruits with dense skin, brush weight - 250 g); Shasla nutmeg with yellow-green berries has a strawberry flavor, ripens much faster than all varieties of this subspecies. Grapes with sweet, juicy fruits look great on the table and are often highly prized for nutmeg and sugariness when tasting. All types of Chasselas grapes are suitable for wine. Frost-resistant and undemanding grape hybrids are suitable for the zone of risky farming - Moscow region, Petersburg, Bashkiria, Udmurtia, Siberia and the Far East.

Reviews

Working on new and better varieties, breeders take into account the demand for berry forms and their adaptation rates to different climatic conditions; and the development of winemaking forces amateur gardeners to work on the yield of technical and universal varieties. In any case, the most delicious and harvestable grape hybrids are those that are grown with their own hands on a personal garden plot. If you work tirelessly, even an ordinary universal grape variety will present you with amazing taste and aroma of berries that will appeal to any gourmet.

Mena's name is Oksana. By education - an accountant, by vocation - an artist and a mother. I love to travel and value sincerity and reliability in people.

Winegrowers who have experience in selling their own harvest know that the first thing a buyer pays attention to is the appearance of the grapes. Beautiful bunches, consisting of many large berries, are sure to be the first to attract the buyer, and the taste is evaluated a little later. Claiming to be called the best grape for the market, a variety should produce just such a yield. Bushes should withstand stable and high yields, be exposed to minimal risk of infection with crop-dangerous diseases and loss of ovary from pests. Thanks to the constantly ongoing selection work, winegrowers receive all new interesting varieties and forms, which, after testing, sometimes crowd out recognized leaders in the ranking of the best grape varieties.

Arcadia grapes: description and photo of the variety

Created by Ukrainian breeders from the crossing of Moldova and Cardinal Arcadia, today it is recognized as one of the best grape varieties in many regions of the country where viticulture is developed. The variety is classified as a table variety and yields a harvest 115–120 days after the beginning of the growing season.

The plant forms a vigorous, early ripening vine with a strong root system and good survival rate. Arcadia shows an average result in resistance to diseases of grapes, in order to protect the vine from mildew, two preventive treatments are needed, protection is also required from powdery mildew. The variety tolerates frosts down to –21 ° С. With changes in humidity, the berries sometimes crack, which affects the quality of the crop.

As can be seen from the description and photo, Arcadia grapes form large, at most dense clusters weighing from 0.5 to 2 kg. The shape of the brushes is cylindrical or close to conical. With a weight of about 15 grams, the berries of this market variety can grow larger than 2.8 cm. At the same time, the berries have a heart-shaped shape and a beautiful yellowish or white color. Since the variety is very high-yielding, the fruit cannot accumulate a lot of sugars, but with a slight acidity, the taste of Arcadia will not disappoint. It is refreshing, pleasant and light, which is especially well felt when consumed with fresh berries with a fleshy consistency.

Radiant Kishmish grape

The seedless berries of the medium early grape Kishmish Radiant are well known to consumers. The variety, bred in Moldova from crossing the grapes Cardinal and Kishmish pink, ripens in 125-130 days and is distinguished by high yields ripening on medium or vigorous bushes.

Kishmish Radiant does not differ in high frost resistance and is susceptible to infections of this culture. At the same time, the variety is demanding for the attention of the grower, and with proper care it compensates for the efforts, gives large and medium berries of a golden and red-pink range, up to 2.5 cm long and weighing up to 4 grams. I have ripe berries with a dense consistency and nutmeg taste and aroma. Clusters of one of the best grape varieties on the market reach 40 centimeters in length and can weigh over 600 grams. The crop is easily transported and stored for quite a long time.

Description and photo of grapes Codryanka

According to the photo and description of the grapes, Codryanka can rightfully be considered one of the most interesting modern varieties. It takes 110 to 118 days to ripen the Cordyanka berries obtained from the parent varieties Marshalsky and Moldova.
