Golubok is a Ukrainian variety of black grape used to make red wines, most notably grown in Ukraine and southern Russia. It is also cultivated in other parts of Europe and the United States.

History and origins

Main article: Ukrainian wine

Golubok is an interspecific hybrid of Severnyy X pollen from different varieties: 40 Let Okyabrya, Odesskiy Ranniy and No 1-17-54 (Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon).[1] It is a relatively new cultivar, created in Odesa, Ukraine in 1958. It became a protected variety in 1981.[2] The word "golubok" means "my little pigeon" in Russian, and is used as a term of endearment.[3]

Viticulture

Golubok ripens early with moderately sized bunches and berries.

bunch rot in the Puget Sound AVA.[4] It is moderately resistant to downy and powdery mildews,[5] which is attributed to its descendance from the Severny cultivar.[6] It is frost-resistant,[7] and resistant to temperatures of -25 °C (-13 °F).[2]

A study of recently introduced cultivars, selections, and clones (predominantly from cool climate areas) was conducted at Washington State University's Mount Vernon NWREC in 2000, which showed that Golubok performed well at 1900 growing degree days (GDD) and below.[3]

Winemaking

The variety is considered to be a

black cherry, and spice.[1] Golubok is characterized by a high concentration of phenolic compounds.[9] Its must has a sugar content of 20-24%.[10]

It is considered to have a fairly reliable yield and is suited to

dessert wines.[10]

Wine regions

Golubok is originally from Ukraine and southern Russia, but is also grown in Moldova and the Czech Republic. It has been cultivated in the states of Iowa[2] and Washington in the United States.[12]
