The Talisman grape variety represents a table form with an early-mid ripening period, ranging from 125 to 135 days. This variety is distinguished by high frost resistance, tolerating temperatures down to -25°C, as well as enhanced resistance to diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, and gray rot. Talisman vines are vigorous, with robust growth and a significant number of fruit-bearing shoots, which requires proper bunch formation to ensure optimal berry development.
Talisman grapes are large, round-oval, reaching sizes of about 35x31 mm and weights from 12 to 16 grams. Their color varies from white to amber, while the taste is harmonious with a slight muscat aroma, which becomes apparent at full maturity. A feature of the variety is the presence of only female flowers, which requires the mandatory presence of pollinators for normal fruiting. Bunches well maintain their shape, do not scatter, and do not crack, ensuring high commercial quality and good transportability over short distances.
When stored correctly in a refrigerator at around +8°C, Talisman berries can maintain freshness for 4-6 months. Thanks to the combination of frost resistance, disease resistance, and excellent taste qualities, this variety is an excellent choice for growing in climatic zones where frosts are possible, as well as for those who appreciate large and aromatic berries with good preservation.
