AKSEIT KARA

Akseit Kara is a local Crimean variety of late ripening grapes, which reaches maturity at the end of September. The leaves of this variety are medium in size, round or slightly elongated, three-lobed and moderately dissected. The lower side of the leaf is covered with weak cobweb pubescence and sparse bristly hairs along the veins. The petiole sinus is closed, with an elliptical opening and pointed bottom, sometimes with a characteristic spur. Flowers are bisexual, which promotes good pollination and fruit setting. Grapes of Akseit Kara are medium in size, narrow-conical or more rarely cylindrical, moderately dense. Berries are of medium size, oval, dark purple, covered with a thick waxy coating that protects them from external influences. The pulp is juicy, the taste is simple, and the skin is thick, rough, and strong, ensuring high transportability of the fruits. The juice of the berries is colorless, which is characteristic of this variety. Grape bushes have moderate growth vigor and high yields. Shoot ripening is good, contributing to stable fruit bearing. The variety has medium resistance to fungal diseases, which requires certain attention in care. The sugar content of the berry juice is 16-18 g per 100 cm³, and acidity is 5-6 g per dm³. Akseit Kara is widely used for fresh consumption due to its taste qualities and good preservation during transportation.
