Muskat Hamburg, Black Muscat
England
Cober 5 bb
late August – early September
Muskat Hamburg, or Black Muscat, is a red grape variety developed in England in 1850. It is a cross between the Schiava Gross and Alexandria Muscat varieties. It produces highly aromatic wines, often with a color reminiscent of rosé wines, and is distinguished by an intense Muscat flavor and fragrance.
The pulp is aromatic with low acidity combined with high sugar content, creating a sweet, floral taste with subtle notes of honey, pear, and apricot. The primary aromas of Muskat Hamburg wines are fresh grape notes. In dessert wines, lychee and rose aromas are prominent, while the flavor may hint at melon.
The cluster is usually branched, loose, and large, with a woody, long peduncle. Cluster weight ranges from 200 to 400 grams. Berries vary from medium to large, oval in shape, growing in loose bunches. They are enclosed, red-colored, and uneven. The skin is smooth, semi-thick, and ranges from dark red to blue-black. Beneath the surface, the translucent pulp is soft and dense, with a few small seeds. Sugar content can reach up to 20%, and total acidity ranges from 5 to 7 g/l.
Self-pollinating.
It is highly resistant to low temperatures, withstanding even -25 °C. It also shows good resistance to common grapevine diseases such as botrytis, downy mildew, and powdery mildew.
You can purchase seedlings of Muskat Hamburg grape at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
The depth of the pit is 40-50 cm, and the width is 30-40 cm.
First, a 5-6 cm layer of loose, fertile soil is placed at the bottom of the pit.
Cut the root of the vine seedling to 10 to 12 cm from the main stem (substrate).
Insert the vine seedling into the hole at an angle of 45°. The connection point of the coil should be 2-3 cm above the ground surface.
Once the seedling is placed in the hole, a layer of crumbly, fertile, and moderately moist soil is spread over the roots. The applied soil layer is then firmly pressed down.
The graft is supported by hand below the grafting point so that it does not move during pressing and compacting.
After the pressing and compacting of the soil is completed, the seedling is watered with 5 liters of water.
Then the remaining upper part of the hole is filled with a mixture of soil and organic fertilizer. The soil is first mixed with well-rotted manure, and then this mixture is poured into the hole and firmly compacted by pressing.
In autumn planting, apply finely crumbled soil over the planted seedling and form a mound so that only 1–2 cm of the branches remain exposed. The mound protects the seedling from freezing during the winter.
In spring planting, it is not necessary to form a mound.
