GRUSHEVSKY WHITE

Grushevsky White is a technical grape variety created based on the Grushevsky Red variety and developed by the Y.I. Potapenko All-Russian Research Institute of Viticulture and Viniculture (VNIIViV). It is intended for the production of wine and other grape products. The berries are white with a waxy bloom, have a round shape, and a thick skin. The flesh is juicy, the taste is simple, and there are on average two seeds per berry. The bunch is of medium size, and the bushes are of medium height.

The variety is characterized by a late ripening period—harvest in the Lower Don region is collected in late September to early October, with a fruiting period of about 150 days. Grushevsky White boasts high winter hardiness and frost resistance down to -27°C, allowing it to be grown in uncovered culture. It is resistant to diseases and pests, however, it requires preventive treatments: 1-2 times against downy mildew and 2-3 times against powdery mildew.

The yield of the variety is high—from 150 to 180 centners per hectare, with a fruiting coefficient of 1.5. Thanks to these characteristics and adaptability to various climatic conditions, the variety is recommended for cultivation in the North Caucasus region and Rostov Oblast, making it promising for viticulture in these areas.
