PRODUCTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROSPECTIVE VINE HYBRIDS IN THE NIS WINE-GROWING REGION

Abstract

This paper presents the results on the study of promising vine hybrids in the Nis wine-growing region. The following promising vine hybrids were obtained from three different crossing combinations: NI 11-92 (Prokupac x Gamay Noir), NI 8-92 (Smederevka x Traminer Savagnin rose), and NI 2-92 (Smederevka x Riesling Rhine). The hybrids were created in the “Centre for Viticulture and Winemaking” in Niš. The tested hybrids differed in their cropping potential, grape yield and quality, chemical composition and sensory evaluation of the wine.
