Krasnostop AZOS is a promising grape variety created by breeders of AZOSViV through crossing the F/U Dzhemete and Krasnostop Anapsky varieties. This variety is intended primarily for technical wine production and is characterized by an early-to-mid ripening period. The berries are dark blue, juicy, and grow in cylindrical clusters, which ensures ease of harvesting and high yield. The sugar content of the berries reaches 24%, while acidity is 8%, which contributes to the production of wine with good organoleptic properties and a rich phenolic composition.
Krasnostop AZOS is distinguished by high resistance to major grape diseases, including downy mildew, powdery mildew, gray rot, and anthracnose, which significantly reduces the need for chemical protection. The level of resistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew, and gray rot is rated at 4 points, indicating reliable plant protection in various climatic conditions. This makes the variety attractive for intensive viticulture and industrial cultivation.
The variety possesses high biological value due to its large reserve of phenolic, coloring, and extractive substances, which positively affects the quality and richness of the wine. It is recommended for implementation in production to improve the efficiency of domestic viticulture and winemaking. Krasnostop AZOS combines high yield, disease resistance, and excellent technological characteristics, making it a promising choice for wineries.
