Variety Original

Original is a table variety from the Tairov Institute of Viticulture and Winemaking (Damask Rose × Dattier de Saint-Vallier). It ripens in the mid-to-late season, in 130–145 days. The cluster is 400–1000 g, conical, loose or of moderate density. The berries are large and very large, about 30 × 22 mm, elongated-egg-shaped or nipple-shaped, with a pointed tip and a waist, white-pink, pink in the sun. Sugar content 19–21%, acidity 5–6 g/l. The skin is tough, the flesh slightly watery, the taste simple. The appearance is decorative.

The bush is vigorous, the flower is hermaphroditic, the shoots ripen well, yields are medium. It is resistant to downy mildew, powdery mildew and rot, and tolerant of phylloxera. In bad weather during flowering it develops many shot berries. Transportability is low because the berry is weakly attached to the stalk. Frost resistance is medium, down to −23 °C, and the vine is covered. It grows best on powerful formations with a reserve of old wood.
