Variety Kodrianka

Kodrianka (also known as Black Magic) is a table variety from the Moldovan Vierul Scientific and Production Association (Moldova × Marshalskyi). It ripens very early, in 110–118 days from the start of bud break. The cluster is 400–600 g, some up to 1.5 kg. The berries are large, 6–8 g (about 31 × 19 mm), dark violet, with firm flesh and a thin skin that is almost unnoticeable when eating; there are few seeds and they separate easily (with gibberellin the berries may be seedless). The taste is simple but pleasant, sugar content up to 18–19%, acidity 6–7 g/l. Eating ripeness arrives already at 12–14% sugar, since acidity drops quickly. The clusters hang on the bush for a long time without losing taste.

The bush is vigorous, the flower is hermaphroditic, yields are high. Resistance to downy mildew is 2.5–3 points, and overall disease resistance is increased. In years unfavorable for flowering it is prone to shot berries. It withstands down to −22 °C, and the vine is covered for winter.
