Variety Pamiati Vchytelia

Pamiati Vchytelia (In Memory of the Teacher) is a hybrid form bred by Ye. H. Pavlovskyi (Shakhty; Talisman × Cardinal). It ripens very early, in 90–110 days: at the end of July or the beginning of August. The cluster is cylindrical-conical, of medium density, on average about 900 g (800–1000 g), some up to 1200 g. The berries are oval, very large, 10–12 g (some up to 16 g), dark violet, with a waxy bloom. The flesh is firm, the taste harmonious, with a light Muscat shade when fully ripe; sugar content 18–20 °Brix, acidity about 5 g/l. The berry has 1–2 small seeds, almost unnoticeable.

The bush is vigorous (both on its own roots and grafted), the flower is hermaphroditic, yields are high — 10–20 kg per bush. The variety has no shot berries, the berries do not crack or rot even in clusters lying on the ground, transport well and can hang on the bush for a long time, wilting slightly. Resistance to fungal diseases is good according to most descriptions, but preventive treatments are needed. The bush tolerates a heavy load, though a weak bush needs regulating; the variety is sensitive to prolonged drought. Frost resistance down to −23 °C, and the vine is covered for winter.
