Abstract

The present paper focuses primarily on the agrobiological and technological characteristics of the pink local vinous varieties Pamid and Muscat red. Muscat red is a late ripening vinous variety, and variety Pamid is a medium ripening vinous variety with possibility for consumption in fresh condition as well since its pellicle and seeds are not felt, and the titrated acidity is low. Variety Muscat red belongs to the most cold-resistant local varieties. Variety Pamid has increased root phylloxera resistance, on account of which it can be cultivated on its own roots without grafting in sandy soils.

Summary

Introduction

Vine is one of the most important agricultural crops for our country. Prerequisites for this are the excellent climatic and soil conditions and the considerable professional experience of its cultivation. Until the 60’s of the previous century the wine-growing production is determined by the local varieties Pamid, Mavroud and Wide Melnik vine, cultivated in south and south-western Bulgaria, Gamza in north-western Bulgaria, Dimyat in east Bulgaria and along the Black Sea coast and Muscat red in the Sub-Balkan valley from town of Karlovo to town of Sungurlare and at separate locations in the Sredna Gora region (Радулов и др., 2004). Their wines appear to be gaining in international popularity and recognition, with certain interest and preference being manifested towards them (Катеров и др., 1990). As a result of the socio-economic changes that occurred in the country in the 90’s of the previous century, the areas of the vineyards, inclusive of those, occupied with local varieties, are substantially reduced
