Demir Kapija is a very early table grape variety developed at Radmilovac by crossing Muscat Ottonel and Queen of Vineyards. It was officially recognized in 1977. The authors are L. Avramov, M. Jovanović, R. Lović, and Đ. Tadijanović. This variety handles transport very well, making it suitable for market distribution.
The grapes are very pleasant to eat with a muscat flavor. The flesh is crisp, enhancing the eating experience.
The cluster is medium-sized, moderately dense, and cylindrical-conical in shape. Cluster weight ranges from 120 to 290 grams. Berries are medium-sized, round or slightly flattened, greenish-yellow in color, with a slightly crisp texture. Mature grapes contain 16–18.5% sugar and 6.5–7.5 g/l total acidity, providing a balanced sweetness and acidity.
Self-pollinating.
Moderately resistant to low winter temperatures, with buds freezing at -20 °C. The variety has medium resistance to fungal diseases, which helps maintain vine health. It is highly sensitive to gray mold.
You can purchase seedlings of Demir Kapija 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.
