Smederevka is a very old (indigenous) Serbian grape variety, as reflected in its name. It is cultivated across most Balkan countries, with larger vineyards in Serbia, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, and has also spread to Herzegovina. This variety produces grapes of very good quality, suitable for making pleasant table wines. Wines made from Smederevka are refreshing and enjoyable, and even better when blended with high-quality Riesling, Semillon, or white Burgundy to enhance acidity. The grapes also tolerate transport well due to their crisp flesh, making them suitable for fresh consumption.
The grape flesh has a slightly tart taste. The wine is light, drinkable, and pleasantly aromatic, occasionally showing vanilla notes in good years. Some experts consider it suitable for sparkling wine production. Overall, Smederevka has not always been given the opportunity to fully showcase its qualities.
Clusters are large, usually conical, and moderately loose. Berries are large, oval, yellow-green, with amber spots on the sun-exposed side. They can accumulate up to 20% sugar while retaining a high acidity level of 8–10 g/L.
Self-pollinating.
The grapes have relatively good resistance to gray mold. They are somewhat less resistant to extreme low winter temperatures (around -20 °C), depending on how well the vine has entered dormancy.
You can purchase seedlings of Smederevka 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.
