Variety Preobrazhennia

Preobrazhennia (Transfiguration) is a hybrid form bred by V. M. Krainov (Potapenko All-Russian Research Institute of Viticulture and Winemaking; Talisman × Kishmish Luchistyi). It ripens early — in the first or second ten days of August. The cluster is conical, of medium density, on average about 780 g, some from 1.5 to 1.8 kg. The berries are elongated-oval, 13.7 g on average (10–20 g): from white-pink in the shade to bright pink in the sun. The taste is harmonious, sweet with a light tartness, without a Muscat shade; sugar content 17–19%. The berry has 1–2 small seeds, almost unnoticeable.

The bush is very vigorous and produces many side shoots; shoot thinning and early pinching are mandatory. Resistance to downy mildew is fairly good, to powdery mildew medium, and it is resistant to gray mold. Transportability and marketability are very high. Frost resistance is about −20…−23 °C, and the vine is covered for winter.
