Variety Rembo

Rembo is a hybrid form of amateur breeding by V. M. Kalugin of Zaporizhzhia (Talisman × Velyka). It ripens early, in 105–120 days: in the first half of August. The cluster is cylindrical-conical, of medium density or loose, usually 700–1200 g, up to 1.5 kg under good conditions. The berries are very large, elongated-oval, dark violet (in different descriptions, from dark burgundy to almost black), about 20 g on average, some larger. The flesh is firm, crisp and juicy, the skin thin but tough; the taste is harmonious, without a Muscat shade.

The bush is vigorous, yields are high, the flower is hermaphroditic, and the clusters pollinate well. Resistance to fungal diseases is medium, so preventive treatments against downy and powdery mildew are needed before flowering and right after it. It withstands frost down to −23 °C, and the vine is covered for winter. The variety is relatively new, so its disease resistance is still being studied.
