Simple, reliable, unpretentious - Denisovsky grapes

History of appearance

The Denisovsky grape appeared by pollinating the Northern Muscat.
Initially, breeders planned to obtain a technical variety that would tolerate cold well. After painstaking work, the breeders of VNIIViV named after. Potapenko managed to obtain a new hybrid - Denisovsky grapes, which met the objectives, namely, to obtain a high-yielding variety that could perfectly withstand frost and not succumb to fungal diseases. As a result, it was possible to develop early grapes that do not require shelter. It was bred by breeders from VNIIViV named after. Potapenko - from pollination by pollen of the Severny muscat variety.

The specialists were faced with the task of developing a variety that would feel good in latitudes with a real Russian winter and would not be primitive. Therefore, Denisovsky became widespread throughout the Caucasus.

Description of the benefits of the variety

• Absolutely low maintenance.
• Increased frost resistance.
• Berries store sugar well.
• Denisovsky’s taste cannot be called refined, but it is not primitive and is completely devoid of sharpness, like, for example, the famous Isabella with the smell of “fox”.
• Excellent transportability.
• And you don’t even need to choose the soil in particular - well, unless it’s too swampy, and a salt marsh won’t do, but Denisovsky is unpretentious in everything.

The Denisovsky wine grape variety was obtained by crossing Severny with a mixture of muscat pollen in Russia on the territory of the vineyards of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute named after Ya.I. Potapenko. The variety is a purely technical subspecies, therefore it is used mainly in winemaking in the North Caucasus.

Description of diseases and pests

Resistance to diseases and pests, as already mentioned, is quite high: Denisovsky’s increased resistance to mildew and gray rot - 3 points each, as well as the average score for resistance to oidium - 4 points allows us to talk about its attractiveness for beginners in viticulture. The leaf roller will also avoid it.

A little effort and homemade wine with the aroma of the Caucasus will give your home feast a unique atmosphere of celebration and fun.

Denisovo grapes, described above, are practically not susceptible to diseases that affect other varieties. On a five-point scale, the plant has the following indicators:

• resistance to mildew and other types of rot – 3 points;
• resistance to oidium – 4 points.

This plant is not attacked by the leaf roller. Gardeners leave mostly positive reviews about this variety. Denisovsky grapes do not require complex care. Sometimes you can see wasps on it. To prevent insects from avoiding ripe clusters, gardeners recommend covering the berries with a fine net.

Harvesting and storage

The fruits ripen in mid or late August. This variety is usually used for the production of dry or dessert wines. It is also used to make sparkling champagne. The Denisovsky variety can be used for various preparations. Compotes, jams, and liqueurs are made from it.

The Denisovsky variety is considered a popular industrial crop, which is actively used for wine production. To achieve success in growing a plant, it is worth providing it with complete and high-quality care.

Features of the variety

Denisovsky grapes are unpretentious in care. Its berries accumulate sugar well, which is important when using them in winemaking.

The variety has a very interesting taste. It cannot be called sophisticated, but it is not considered primitive either. The berries are sweet, without sourness, with a pronounced classic grape taste.

The plant thrives in almost any soil, except very swampy soil. Also, grapes do not grow on salt marsh, but on other types of soil the plant gives a stable high yield.

During the development period, the plant develops powerful deep roots. The bush itself is vigorous, so when pruning, about 35 eyes are left on it, and the remaining branches are removed.

Landing Features

This variety is considered one of the most unpretentious. As mentioned above, it can be grown in any type of soil. When choosing a planting site, preference should be given to options with low salt content. Denisovo grapes also do not like high humidity.

This variety belongs to light-loving plants. To plant it, choose an area with good lighting, without shading. When planting cuttings, already in the first year of growing season the plant grows powerful shoots.

The bush is distinguished by its vigorous growth. Therefore, when planting, you should leave enough space for it to develop normally. Gardeners say that the distance between bushes should not be less than one and a half meters. A distance of three meters is maintained between rows.

Denisovsky grapes are ideal for propagation by vegetative method. Other varieties can be grafted onto cuttings.

There are no special features in caring for grapes. The plant must be watered, promptly sprayed against pests, and also periodically fertilized with mineral and organic fertilizers.

Typically, nitrogenous, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used for grapes. Complex mineral fertilizers containing vitamins are used less frequently.

Purpose of the variety

Denisovsky was bred as a wine variety. However, its taste makes it possible to use the berries for making jams, preserves and compotes. Dry and sparkling wines of high quality are obtained from grapes. The berries are used to make liqueurs.

Properly selected planting site and timely watering will allow you to get a good harvest. The variety is capable of producing up to 140 centners of tasty berries per hectare of land.

Gardeners say that even a novice winemaker can grow Denisovsky grapes. You just need to put in a little effort.

Denisovsky is not too demanding in care. Like all grape plants, it needs good sunlight. It is unpretentious to soils, but planting it on soil with a high salt content (saline soils) should be avoided. Swampy areas and soils with high humidity are also undesirable.

Due to their good growth, it is recommended to plant the bushes 1.5 meters apart with a distance between rows of 3 meters. To maintain a stable high yield, it is necessary to prune the vine into 6-8 buds. The optimal load on the bush is from 30 to 40 eyes. The hybrid has good compatibility with vigorous rootstocks, for example, Kober 5BB.

Due to its good sugar content, these grapes are used to make high-quality dessert, as well as sparkling and dry wine. Despite the rather simple taste, the dry wine produced from this hybrid has a good tasting score - 7.8 points. In addition, it makes excellent compotes, preserves and jam, and thanks to the beautiful attractive bunches, many gardeners decorate their facades and hedges with it.

Subtleties of growing varieties

In order for a culture to develop normally, it is recommended to provide it with optimal conditions. To do this, it is important to carry out planting work correctly.

Landing dates

It is worth planting crops in harsh climates in the spring. In the southern regions it is permissible to do this in the fall.

Site preparation

The variety is considered light-loving. Therefore, a well-lit area is suitable for planting it.

Features of care

The Denisovsky variety is unpretentious in terms of cultivation due to its high resistance to frost and can withstand temperatures down to -27; sugar quickly accumulates in its berries; it can easily be transported; the taste of the berries is not at all sharp; special conditions for cultivation are not required.

When planting this grape variety, it is necessary to take into account its sensitivity to salt marshes and marshy soil, therefore it should not be placed in such conditions. In all other respects, it does not create significant trouble. In the case of a single planting, a hole is dug, the depth of which is 0.6 m and which has the same dimensions of the edges. When planting two or more vines, a trench is immediately dug, the depth of which is 0.6 m, followed by the installation of trellises. The location should be well lit by the sun.

The Denisovsky variety, like any other, requires protection from common pests, including the following measures:

• covering the vines with netting to protect them from birds;
• prevention against bacterial cancer - uprooting and removing diseased parts and protecting the vines from damage.

Description of shoots

The shoots of this variety bear fruit on average - approximately 65-76 percent; if we talk about clusters, their number per shoot is about 1.2. When pruning the fruit vine, it is recommended not to load too much - a length of 6-7 eyes will be enough. Denisovsky is distinguished by an average level yield (approximately 140 c/ha) - that is, if planting is carried out according to the scheme of 3 bushes per one and a half meters of land, then the yield will be 4 kilograms per bush.
