Аrctic

Аrcticа: Amurskyi №7 x Grape variety №13-14 (Podarunok Zaporizhzhiu x Amurskyi №8), (316-17) is a grape variety with a very early ripening period. Ripening begins on July 20–25, with full maturity reached between August 1 and 5 in the Kyiv region. The flower is bisexual. There is no berry shot-berrying (millerandage). The clusters are loose. The berries are medium-sized, round, and red, weighing 6–8 grams. The flesh is firm and has a light muscat flavor.

The berries have a harmonious flavor. Sugar content is high (19–21%), while acidity is low. The berries hold up well on the vine without damage, retaining their quality, though the muscat note fades if left on the vine too long. The clusters weigh 0.4–0.6 kg. The variety exhibits moderate vigor and a fertility rate of two clusters per shoot. Cane maturation occurs early. Disease resistance is high, rated at 2.5–3.0 points; three treatments against diseases and pests are sufficient.

It has a frost resistance of -28 to -30°C. The Arktyka grape variety has been grown without winter covering since 2016. It withstood the 2025–2026 winter—characterized by temperatures of -26 to -27°C and severe ice—without sustaining any damage.

The description is based on the results of four fruiting seasons on the seedling. Testing and observation are continuing under conditions requiring no winter protection. .
