The best dessert grape varieties with description and brief description

Growing a decent harvest of early ripe varieties in the Ural vineyards, in Bashkiria or in Siberia and the Far East used to be a curiosity, now it is a common phenomenon that has spread even among inexperienced gardeners. In the southern regions of our country and Ukraine, mid-ripening and late table and universal varieties of heat-loving culture are successfully grown. Knowing the peculiarities of agricultural technology, amateur gardeners from Moscow and St. Petersburg learned to grow wine varieties of grapes intended for open ground, rare dessert varieties of grape vines that have specific features of growing. Most often, beginner gardeners do not attach importance to the names of hybrids, preferring to work on “white” and “black” grapes. But knowing the names of the types and varieties of grapes with white, dark purple and pink fruits, you can easily understand the agricultural technology of the culture and adapt to their features.

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-ripening varieties in the southern regions and in the harsh, northern ones. The grapevine 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 responsible for the dark color of berries.

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

1. productivity;
2. qualitative characteristics of the fruit (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 selection varieties with a fresh taste may seem unclaimed and ordinary to some, these gardeners prefer sweet, but small and loose clusters of raisins. For other lovers of grapes, it is important not only the quality characteristics of berries, but also decorativeness, adaptation of the vine to certain climatic conditions. There are dozens of the latest varieties that are still difficult to evaluate, but they already have high yields and a bright, full-bodied fruit flavor.. For example, Atlantic, a dessert variety with pink, elongated fruits, juicy and fragrant, with floral-fruity notes; nutmeg grade Silver; Alibaba with a harmonious taste of berries and aronia Carmen; unusual Zephyr variety with raspberry-pink tassels and Rostov hybrid Annie with the aroma of tea rose and dense pulp.

The best universal table grape varieties

Lydia is the most common variety for universal use, the juicy, sweet fruits of which many gardeners love spicy skin. Grapevine obtained from seedlings of wild-growing Vitis labrusca. Thanks to the powerful stem and decorative vine, the isabel variety has spread not only as a table-technical grape, but also as a decorative culture. Productivity - up to 25-30 kg per bush. The average bunch weighs about 400 g. Overripe berries crumble and rot, the ripened crop (after 150-160 days) is ideal for juices and wines.

Universal grade Lydia

Lydia ripens in mid-September, but we begin to tweak the first berries in mid-August. The fruits become rich red, juicy and fragrant, only slightly acidic. 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 oidium, wasps are also not very interested in fruits because of the astringency of the skin and sourness of the pulp. In late September - early October we tear off the last bunch. At this time of the year, they become very fragrant, knocked out by the first frosts, acquire a coppery flavor and practically do not bitter. From such "late" grape brushes, an amazing compote is obtained, aromatic and rich.

Lydia grows in a well-warmed sunny place and is always watered and fed. Thanks exclusively to the attentive attitude, the berries of the usual “medium” universal variety do not pea, do not crack, very rarely deteriorate and can hang up to the November frost on the vine. This extends the freshness and shelf life of the crop, which in favorable years can exceed all average figures. 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 mounted on a brick wall of a residential building. That is, the vine is located in a place sheltered from the winds, it takes heat from the wall and regularly receives watering with well-maintained, warm water and is fed with organic matter (up to 6 times in the summer). This provides a stable harvest and sweetness of the smallest and unripe berries.

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

White pearl Hungarian universal variety suitable for processing and fresh consumption. Amber - yellow, round fruits with subtle musky notes grow on conical bunches. The vine ripens by 80%. The weight of the fruit brush is 150-200 g. Pruning is for 6-8 kidneys. Sugar content - 20%, acidity - 7 g / l. A bush with an average ripening period (120-140 days) is grown in Belarus and Ukraine, the Urals and Siberia, as well as in the middle zone of Russia.

Universal White Pearl

Table and technical grade Black pearl is a relative of Magarachi, clusters of about 300 g, berries - round, dark blue in color, with acidity and light strawberry nutmeg. Sugar content - 24%, acidity - 6 g / l. Cut grapes for 3-4 eyes, the 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 nutmeg is a medium-sized table-wine hybrid with clusters of up to 0.2 kg, oval, pink-red berries with a wax coating. The fruits are fragrant, with floral notes, often used for winemaking, they will be a wonderful berry dessert on the table. The average yield is 4-6 kg per bush. The variety is vulnerable to temperature extremes, is affected by powdery mildew and requires fertile soil and top dressing.

Grape variety Muscat pink

Shashla white, pink and nutmeg is a type of grape, which is often referred to as universal varieties. Hybrids are similar in their tasting characteristics, white Chasla (yellow-white, round berries, clusters weighing 190 g) ripens before pink (pink-raspberry fruits with a dense skin, brush weight - 250 g); Muscat barbecue 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 when tasting, they are often highly valued for nutmeg and sugar content. All types of Chasla grapes are suitable for wine. Frost-resistant and undemanding grape hybrids are suitable for risky farming areas - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Bashkiria, Udmurtia, Siberia and the Far East.

Reviews

I love sweet grapes, and I can’t stand sour grapes. It is very difficult to single out the most delicious varieties now, although many like them. I like grapes with an unusual flavor. For example, this year for the first time I had 6 bunches of Rochefort with large berries. And a cardinal flavor. I crush on Jupiter, last year a fellow countryman treated a fragment of Jupiter, I think: I’ll plant five bushes. Planting changed my mind, quite a couple of bushes. Libya is incomparable, of course, but Super-Extra overripe is also good, no doubt. Therefore, the range of favorite varieties is large. I keep Tomaysky because I adore its berries with a cherry taste and dense fleshy flesh.Loved the brilliant, awesome nutmeg and bright pink berry. I really like Nadezhda AZOS, Lancelot and Velika, Kishmish Luchisty and Aphrodite, Veles and the Original.

Everyone has their own taste .... who loves melon and who likes watermelon. I like: Tason is an unusually tender muscat. Libya is a crispy and delicious nutmeg. Monarch is a large berry with a balanced taste. When biting, spray in all directions. Premier, Radiant - very tasty. Great - this year is very sweet. A great combination of sugar and acid. Vodograi is a light, unobtrusive muscat. Super Extra - also like it, but if it outweighs, then it is impossible to eat ... too sweet. Rumba - as if it had a simple taste, but I want to eat it without stopping. It’s just sweet ... Anyuta is a large tasty nutmeg berry with a crunch, but the seeds are too big, but you can close your eyes to it because of the taste. Nevertheless, I like nutmegs, but you can’t eat a lot of them.

Working on new and better varieties, breeders take into account the demand for berry forms and their indicators of adaptation to different climatic conditions; and the development of winemaking forces amateur gardeners to work on the yield of technical and universal varieties.
