Culture has a universal purpose. It is a delicious dessert variety that can be used to make a pleasant white wine. Medium-sized bushes build up a powerful vine and begin bearing fruit already in the fourth year of life. In this case, the grapes ripen after 100 days. The vine blooms in the second half of June with male and female inflorescences. And by August the berries ripen.

The hybrid has good winter hardiness - at 23 ° C frost, and it is also not particularly picky about the sun. This allows you to grow grapes even in the middle lane. A short summer is enough to ripen both the harvest and the vine. But the bush is not particularly resistant to diseases, its immunity is only at an average level. Especially often the bushes suffer from powdery mildew.

But in general, the Long-awaited grapes have a number of advantages:

• quickly bears fruit and ripens early;
• behaves well during transportation;
• stored for a long time;
• the berries are beautiful and tasty, almost without seeds.

Characteristics of fruiting and yield

The Long-awaited variety has large clusters of medium friability weighing about 800 g. With proper care, they can weigh up to 2 times more. Up to 10 kg of grapes ripen on one adult vine.

The grapes are also large, elongated, with thin skin. The weight of one berry is up to 12 g with a length of almost 4 cm. Even in the case of peas (and the variety has it, albeit partial), small berries also fully ripen. At first they are greenish, but when fully ripe, they turn golden. The berries seem to be transparent.

In a warm, dry summer, ripe berries do not crumble for a long time and become even sweeter. But if the rainy season starts, they start to crack.

The Long-awaited one has very tasty, fleshy and juicy pulp, with a slight sourness. The sugar content of the variety reaches 22%, so it turns out good dry wine... And one more bonus from the hybrid - there are very few hard seeds in the berries, most of them are soft-seeded.
