Muscat Golodrigi grape (Vitis) – a versatile grape variety of early ripening (121 days). Obtained by crossing the variety Koroleva vinogradnikov and Magarach 124-66-26 at the Scientific-Implementation Firm «Ampelos».

Vines are tall. The tip of the young shoot is semi-open; the color of the dorsal (well-lit) side of the internode and the ventral (not directly exposed to daylight) side of the shoot is green. Tendrils medium in length, number of successive tendrils fewer than 3. Shoot position in space is upright (not yet tied). Leaves medium, five-lobed, medium-incised, slightly undulating; the blade of a developed leaf is rounded, in cross-section rolled outward. Upper sinuses (between the leaf lobes) are very shallow (small); at the petiole the lobes are widely open. Leaf teeth are both short and long; both sides are straight. The leaf petiole is slightly shorter than the main vein. The upper side of the leaf blade is yellow-green. Flower is hermaphroditic. Budburst timing is medium. Canes ripen very well. Matured woody shoots of the vine acquire a brownish-yellow shade and have a rough surface.

Bunch medium density, conical or conical-cylindrical, large. Berry large, oval, yellow-green, at full ripeness amber with a developed muscat aroma, detaches relatively easily, skin thin, very juicy, soft. Seeds fully developed, 2-3 per berry.
