Grapevine Ruse Muscat - Red Dessert Grape, Early Ripening

Rousse Muscat - a red table grape variety.  Bred in Bulgaria by crossing Cardinal and Muscat Hamburg in 1973 by Ivan Todorov and Zankov. It is grown throughout the country.    An early-ripening variety: the grapes ripen at the end of July and the beginning of August. The vines are of medium vigour, with good resistance to low winter temperatures and grey mould. The vines show good recovery ability after severe winter damage. The variety is suitable for growing in all wine-growing regions and semi-mountainous areas at altitudes up to 700-800 m. The average yield per vine with standard training is 4-5 kg, and per decare - up to 1500 kg.  The bunch is large (300 g), loose. The berries are large (4.8 g), oval, dark purple to black. The texture is crunchy, with a pleasant taste and a strongly pronounced muscat aroma. The juice is colourless.    Used for fresh consumption. The grapes do not crack, do not rot and have very good transportability. The sugar content of the grapes at technological maturity is 16 %, and the titratable acids are 4.24 g/l.
