Grapes are one of the most valuable crops in the agricultural world. This magnificent gift of nature has a huge number of varieties that differ in properties and qualities. Therefore, each gardener is able to choose exactly the variety that is suitable for growing in his area. Many growers like to plant early varieties on the plot, which will give their harvest in mid-August. Such varieties include Sensation grapes, a description of which is presented in the article.
Characterization
Grapes Sensation belongs to the table variety. It was bred by the talented Rostov breeder V.U. Drip. He crossed two popular varieties – Talisman and Rizamat, as a result of which this hybrid was bred. First of all, I would like to note that the Sensation grapes ripen at a very early date. The vine fully matures in 100-110 days.
Speaking of Sensation grape bushes, it should be noted that they have great growth power. In the process of maturation, its vine increases in size by more than half. It should be said that the rooting of shoots is possible by 80%.
Describing the clusters, it must be said that they are quite impressive in size. The mass of each ranges from 700-1500 g. They are characterized by a cylindrical or conical shape.
The berries boast a beautiful finger shape. Their dimensions usually reach 55×25 mm, and weight – 16-30 g. The berries can be from yellow-pink to pink, and when fully ripe, sometimes even have a reddish tint. The pulp of grapes tastes fleshy, juicy, has excellent taste qualities and a light nutmeg aroma. They also have a medium-thick skin, while eating it is not felt. This plant does not need careful care, so it is often planted in suburban areas.
The composition of the fruits of Sensation includes a large number of useful substances. 100 g of this variety are enriched with:
- vitamin K, retinol, thiamine, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, biotin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and pyridoxine;
