Variety Daria

Daria is a hybrid form of amateur breeding by V. M. Krainov (Talisman × Druzhba). It ripens early, in 95–115 days: at the beginning or middle of August. The cluster is large, conical or broadly conical, of medium density, usually 600–800 g. The berries are egg-shaped, large, 12–13 g: from milky white to light yellow, amber when fully ripe. The flesh is fleshy-juicy, the taste very pleasant, with citron-type Muscat; sugar content about 19 °Brix, acidity about 6 g/l. The berry has 1–2 seeds.

The bush is vigorous, the flower is hermaphroditic, and no pollinator is needed. There are practically no shot berries, and the berries do not crack after rain. The variety actively forms side shoots, so regulating is needed: no more than two clusters per shoot and removal of side shoots. Resistance to downy mildew is medium, to powdery mildew it ranges from low to above medium according to different sources, so preventive treatments are needed. It withstands frost down to −22…−23 °C, and the vine is covered for winter. Fresh clusters keep their shape well and last up to a month at temperatures up to +7 °C.
