Misgyuli Kara is a Crimean grape variety belonging to the Eastern wine group. It ripens at the end of the second decade of September and is characterized by medium or quite large, round, five-lobed foliage with deep incisions. The flower is functionally female. The cluster is of medium size, cylindro-conical and loose, which facilitates ventilation and reduces the risk of diseases.
The berries are of medium size, round, and black, covered with a moderate waxy bloom. The skin is thick but not durable, while the pulp is juicy with a simple taste. The juice is uncolored. The variety is characterized by relatively high drought resistance and medium resistance to fungal diseases, making it suitable for cultivation in Crimea. The yield of Misgyuli Kara is low.
This grape is used primarily for fresh consumption. Upon reaching physiological maturity, the berries contain 20-23% sugars and have an acidity of 5–6 g/L, which ensures a pleasant taste balance. Despite its rarity and limited distribution, the variety is valued for its adaptation to local climatic conditions and the quality characteristics of the fruit.
