Variety Smarahd

Smarahd is a hybrid form of amateur breeding by M. P. Vyshnevetskyi (Demetra × Valyok + Richelieu). It ripens early — in about 110–120 days. The clusters are very large, usually 800–1400 g. The berries are fleshy, even in size, up to 36×39 mm, with no shot berries and a pleasant light Muscat taste.

The bush is vigorous, the flower is hermaphroditic, and the vine ripens well. The variety has increased resistance to fungal diseases, is not affected by gray mold, and the clusters tolerate transport well. It withstands frost down to −23…−24 °C, so it is better to cover the vine for winter. Do not leave the clusters on the bush too long: once overripe, the Muscat note fades.
