Variety Podarunok Nikopoliu

Podarunok Nikopoliu (A Gift to Nikopol) is a hybrid form of private breeding by O. M. Pysanka (Ukraine). The pedigree is not given in the available descriptions. It ripens early: by some data in 95–100 days, by others in 110–115. The cluster is cylindrical-conical or conical, of medium density, usually 700–1200 g. The berries are oval, large, 12–18 g, ruby-red (whitish-pink when not fully ripe), with a thin edible skin and firm fleshy pulp. The taste is pleasant, rich Muscat; sugar content is high. The berries color evenly and have a good marketable appearance.

The bush is vigorous (medium-vigorous in some descriptions), the vine ripens well, yields are high. According to one source the flower is functionally female, so for reliable pollination it is desirable to have another variety nearby. Berry cracking after heavy rain has not been observed, but the harvest should be picked in time after ripening. The vine is pruned to 6–8 buds. Resistance to the main diseases is medium or increased. It withstands frost down to −22 °C, and the vine is covered for winter.
