🍇 Arkadia
A popular table grape bred in Odesa at the Tairov Institute.
Arkadia is a popular table grape of Ukrainian breeding. It was bred in Odesa, at the Tairov institute, which has bred new varieties for southern Ukraine for decades. Its berries are pale yellow-green, fairly large, and sweet and refreshing.
The variety ripens early and crops steadily, so growers like it. The vines are vigorous, the bunches large, and the berries keep well and travel well. Arkadia's pedigree includes Moldova and Cardinal, and varieties such as Sofia and Livia are related to it. It is a typical example of breeding for taste and reliability, not for wine.
Arkadia counts as Ukrainian grapes and as a grape variety in general. It is eaten fresh and made into juice and home preserves. Wine can be made from it too, but this grape is usually chosen for the table. It suits home plots and small farms where early harvest and handsome bunches matter.
