Elada grapevines are characterized by vigorous growth and good cane ripening. The leaves are large, dark green with a wrinkled surface and clearly visible veins; the underside of the leaf is covered with bristly hairs. Leaf cutouts are small slit-like, and the teeth are triangular and alternate with dome-shaped ones. The flowers are perfect, which contributes to good fruit set. The variety has increased resistance to diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, and gray rot, as well as to frosts up to -23 °C, ensuring reliable cultivation in various climatic conditions.
Elada grapes are distinguished by good yield — 100-120 centners per hectare with sugar content of 18-20 g/100 cm³ and acidity of 7.2 g/dm³. The berry skin is thin but strong, the flesh is fleshy with a light muscat aroma. The variety's transportability is average. Due to its taste qualities and resistance to adverse factors, Elada is suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for making compotes and jams.
