MARSELAN

Marselan Grapes by Lazurnaya Yagoda: Efficiency in Every Vineyard

For winegrowers focused on large-scale red wine production, Marselan from the Lazurnaya Yagoda nursery has become a staple variety. This technical grape is favored for its combination of high productivity, robust health, and predictable performance, making it a reliable choice for the southern regions.

Working with Marselan requires a disciplined approach to canopy management. Given its vigorous growth, timely pruning and suckering are essential to optimize the development of its large clusters (500–800g). By managing the vine structure, you ensure that the small, deep blue berries receive adequate sunlight and airflow, which is critical for developing the signature fruity flavor profile required for premium winemaking.

Key Agronomic Benefits

• Built-in Disease Resistance: The variety exhibits high resistance to mildew and grey rot. This dramatically reduces the need for frequent chemical interventions, which is a major advantage during humid seasons when fungal pressure is typically highest.
• Cold Hardiness: With a winter tolerance of up to -24°C, this variety is well-suited for regions that experience significant temperature fluctuations, providing peace of mind during harsh winters.
• Optimized Harvesting: Its mid-late maturation period allows for a controlled harvest schedule, ensuring optimal sugar accumulation and phenolic ripeness by the time the fruit hits the winery.

Investing in propagation material from Lazurnaya Yagoda ensures high survival rates and a swift transition into the productive stage. In practical field scenarios, Marselan proves to be a consistent performer that handles intensive farming practices well. By choosing this variety, you secure a reliable harvest cycle and protect your vineyards from the most common fungal pathogens, ultimately lowering your cost per ton of high-quality raw material.
