The best grape varieties with photos and descriptions: from a to z in alphabetical order

Description of the best varieties of berries in alphabetical order

An ignorant person will be surprised by the variety of these fruits. They differ in organoleptic properties, color and ripening time. For convenience, it is worth studying grape varieties in alphabetical order.

Augustine

The berries are early ripening table berries and are fully ripened by mid-August. However, not early grape varieties can boast so many fruits. On average, 50-60 kilograms can be harvested from 1 hectare of grape garden. The advantages of the variety include:

• self-pollinating;
• resistance to diseases and pests;
• decorativeness;
• frost resistance, etc.

Alpha

The clusters are black in color and have a sweet and sour taste and are rarely used in winemaking. Alpha grapes are mainly used for decorative purposes; their organoleptic characteristics are not of particular value. Resistance to temperature changes and immunity to pests allow it to be planted everywhere.

Amursky

Many grape varieties can withstand cold weather. Frost-resistant “Amur” berries even tolerate temperatures dropping to -45 degrees. It is not afraid of pollution, soot and smoke, which allows it to be used for planting in city parks. The berries are small, sour, and the clusters are sparse. It grows in the Amur region, on the territory of the People's Republic of China and in Korea.

Anyuta

Obtained by crossing berries of the “Kishmish” and “Talisman” varieties. A perennial variety that is highly resistant to negative environmental factors. It easily takes root in any soil and bears fruit abundantly. It has large clusters, the weight of which reaches one and a half kilograms.

Arcadia

From one bush you can harvest up to 20 kilograms of grapes. The weight of one brush ranges from 600 grams to a record 2-3 kilograms. Like other dessert grape varieties, it is mainly used for food and is occasionally used in winemaking. It has a neutral taste and a pleasant nutmeg aroma.

Bazhena

Ripe berries have a green-yellow hue. They have a pleasant taste and are eaten raw. They are actively used to create wines, in the production of juices and jams. Bazhena grapes bring a generous harvest. The disadvantages of the variety include its instability to some diseases and parasites.

Baikonur

Early ripening variety with dark juicy fruits. Plants of this species are very frost-resistant. Grape varieties like Baikonur are rarely used in winemaking. The high sugar content in the fruit requires additional acidification when preparing an alcoholic drink. Perfect for processing into jam, juice or drying.

Outrigger

It has amazing growth rates. Without control, Valek grapes grow quickly and chaotically. The clusters are dense and weigh up to 3 kilograms. The berries are green-yellow in color and acquire a light pink “blush” at the ripe stage. Does not deteriorate due to long-term storage or transportation.

Veles

Like many seedless grape varieties, it was developed by crossing subspecies of the “kishmish” berry. The bunch is distinguished by its rich red color and significant weight. One bunch of grapes reaches 3.5 kilograms. Veles berries are juicy, sweet and aromatic.

Victor

Fully ripen in early August. The berries are light, green-yellow with a slight pinkish tint. It is characterized by high yield, resistance to temperature changes and transportation. When growing, it requires installation of supports, additional watering and fertilizing.

Victoria

Table grape varieties are grown mainly in the southern regions. However, “victory” is an exception to this rule. The fruits ripen well in central Russia, but require proximity to a pollinator plant. The type of flowering is functionally female, therefore, Victoria grapes are not a self-pollinating variety.

Delight

It represents several varieties of fruits. The description of grape varieties includes the following types of “delight” berries:

• white;
• black;
• red;
• nutmeg.

All of them differ not only in color, but also in taste, resistance to pests and key areas of use.

White “delight” is considered the most valuable.

Lady fingers

It got its name for its special elongated shape, resembling aristocratic female fingers. However, the poetic name is only a nickname and is called Husayne. Like some other popular grape varieties, it is very picky. However, with proper care, it has an excellent sweet taste and high yield.

Isabel

Considering the main grape varieties used in making wine, one cannot help but... Its dark berries have a bright taste and a special smell. The plant is unpretentious, grows everywhere and does not require complex care.

Cardinal

Behind the noble name lies a plant with large red berries. The flesh is green, with a slight crunch and hints of nutmeg. Due to its excellent taste, it is included in elite grape varieties. Requires careful care, does not tolerate diseases and pests.

Kesha

Hybrid grape varieties combine traits of their parent species. All the best from “frumoas” and “delight” were absorbed by “kesha” berries. Light juicy berries are collected in kilogram clusters. The taste is pleasant, aromatic, delicate. The plant needs a pollinator.

Kishmish

This is the seedless grape that most people love. The varieties and varieties of raisin fruits are very numerous. They are eaten raw, grown for processing into wine, and dried to produce raisins. The plant is an excellent pollinator for other varieties.

Codrianca

Hybrid No. 41

Review

We recently planted Hybrid No. 41 (3 years old).
I was attracted by the appearance - dark pink large berries, large elegant clusters. In the descriptions of the hybrid form there is information about instability to disease. The nursery testified to the contrary, which is why we were tempted. Hybrid No. 41B has not gotten sick for us yet; we sprayed it twice a year. We'll keep an eye on it - if anything changes, we'll update the review. Description
Hybrid No. 41 – grapes of medium ripening period (125-135 days) Berry weight – 10-12 g. Berry shape – round or slightly oval, sometimes slightly obovate. Berry color – dark pink. The taste is harmonious. Sugar – 19-20%. The pulp is fleshy and juicy. Tasting score of fresh grapes 8.4 points. The clusters are large, from 700 g to 2000 g, sometimes more. The clusters are usually conical in shape, but sometimes shapeless, the density of the bunch is usually moderate, sometimes higher. Growth vigor Hybrid No. 41 large. Fruitful shoots - approximately 65%. Number of bunches per shoot - approximately 0.8-1.0. Optimal load on the bush - 65-70 buds. Vines are pruned to 10-12 buds. Frost resistance -22°C. B Resistance to mildew and oidium is below average, moderate resistance to gray rot. B Transportability is good. Shoots ripen satisfactorily. The compatibility of Hybrid grape No. 41 with rootstocks is good.

Classification according to main characteristics

In addition to varietal separation, varieties of berries are usually combined into groups. The characteristics of grape varieties and their properties serve as the main criterion for distribution.

Dining rooms

Already from the name itself it is clear that such grapes are usually served at the table. Table varieties are distinguished by large berries, pleasant taste and visual appeal. The fruits do not require any processing; in their raw form they act as an independent snack. The benefits of grapes.

Technical

The most important difference is the proportion of juice in the fruits; it reaches 85 percent of the mass of the grapes. The decorativeness of the brush does not matter.

Technical varieties predominantly have a loose, asymmetrical bunch. The taste is not as bright as that of table fruits. Differs in pronounced acidity. Plants are predominantly frost-resistant, immune to diseases and pests.

Many well-known French grape varieties are classified as technical, for example:

• aligote;
• cabernet sauvignon.

For wine

Fruits grown for the production of wine and natural juice are called technical. For high-quality wine, you need berries that contain at least 18 percent sugar.

Early

Early varieties are considered to be those that bear fruit within 115-120 days after flowering. The range may vary depending on the climatic conditions of the area. Harvesting on average occurs in the first middle or end of August.

Ultra early

Harvest can be done at the end of July - beginning of August. Ultra-early grape varieties rarely boast large clusters. As a rule, they have fewer berries and a more sour taste. Such berries are suitable for northern regions, where the first frosts are recorded as early as September.

Late

They ripen 150-170 days after flowering. They retain their properties perfectly when properly stored. When kept cool, dry, the grapes will remain fresh until mid-winter. The disadvantages of later varieties include:

• acid;
• susceptibility to disease;
• low frost resistance.

You will find all the information about white grape varieties here. The benefits of green, black, red and blue grapes.

Frost-resistant and uncovered

Until recently, it was believed that the climatic conditions of Russia were not suitable for growing these southern plants. However, the work of breeders made the impossible possible. Nowadays, non-covering grape varieties are represented quite widely. Some of the varieties can withstand air temperatures down to -45 degrees and soil freezing down to -20.

Seedless

Seedless grapes are not only popular raw, but are also used to make raisins. The most famous varieties are “korinka” and “kishmish”. Propagation of such plants occurs by cuttings.

Elite

They are distinguished by large fruits with excellent taste. These are mainly table grapes, the clusters of which reach 1 or more kilograms. Some are highly frost-resistant, while others are cover grape varieties.

Muscat

The specific taste and aroma are determined by special substances in the composition. They are called thornoids. Muscat grape varieties are distinctly sweet with delicate pulp. They are widely used in winemaking. Most plants are not resistant to negative influences.

Three famous "K"s

Cardinal

The attitude towards the Cardinal grape is quite ambiguous: some scold it and want to get rid of it as quickly as possible, while others will not exchange it for any other variety. With excellent yield, high taste, and beautiful appearance, it is unusually capricious and unstable. However, with a certain approach, it is almost always possible to obtain large, marketable brushes.

The bushes are characterized by medium and vigorous growth and can be severely affected by leaf rollers, oidium, mildew, and rot. As perennial wood increases, yields increase. The fruits are used fresh, for preservation (jam, compotes). The harvest is harvested selectively, as the bunches ripen unevenly. Cardinal is grown exclusively in warm areas, because the plant is very sensitive to low temperatures.

Huge, oval berries (18 g) are purple-red in color. Their crispy flesh is juicy, meaty with a pleasant nutmeg aftertaste, the peel is easy to tear. The clusters are formed cylindrical-conical, with varying degrees of looseness. The average weight of a twig is 600-800 grams, some - 1.5 kg. The cardinal tolerates transportation conditions well and ripens by the end of August.

Kesha

Kesha grapes are also called FV-6-6, Super Kesha, Talisman, Kesha Muscat, Improved Delight. Vigorous bushes with powerful roots bear fruit well, but tend to be overloaded with harvest. The clusters are usually very large, dense, often conical or shapeless, and weigh between 900-1100 grams. The variety is in high demand on the market and is in good demand.

Quite large fruits weigh on average 12 grams and contain no more than 3 seeds. The oval berries are white in color, have dense pulp, and a harmonious taste. Kesha is characterized by the ability to accumulate a lot of sugars - up to 24%. In addition, among the advantages are increased resistance to mildew and frost resistance.

Codrianca

The very early grape Codrianca is a complex hybrid of Moldavian selection with very large berries. Vigorous bushes are not afraid of frosts -24 o C, and are characterized by increased resistance to gray rot and mildew. The advantages of Kodryanka are high yield, good transportability, ripening at 110 days.

The weight of massive conical bunches reaches up to 600 grams, but can also be up to one and a half kilograms. Large purple fruits, 6-8 grams each, have a pleasant, simple taste. Their flesh is crispy, juicy, and the seeds are easy to separate. Kodryanka branches can hang on the bush for about three weeks without losing their taste. In dry weather it may pea.

Features of grape formation

"ABOUT"

Pruning of grapes is carried out depending on the speed and density of growth, attitude to growing conditions, etc. The Guyot method and fan pruning are most often used. The first is characterized by the formation of two sleeves, the second allows the growth of eight shoots. Typically the following options are used:

The table shows that some varieties are formed in different ways. It depends on the growing conditions and the area where the grapes are grown.
