Kokur Bely

The white grape variety originates from Ukraine. Synonyms are Belji Dolgi, Bos Kokur, Dolgi, Kakour, Kakour Blanc, Kakour Blanc de Crimée, Kakura Blanc, Kokon, Kokour Bianco, Kokour Melekhowsky, Kokur, Kokur Beli, Kokur Belyi and Kokuri Belji. The ancestry (parentage) is unknown. Supposedly it was already cultivated in the Crimean peninsula in the 14th or 15th century. According to the ampelographer Pierre Galet (1921-2019), it was introduced from the Greek island of Corfu (Kerkyra). A direct descendant is the Russian variety Tsimlyansky Cherny. The medium-maturing vine is susceptible to fungal diseases, especially downy mildew. The versatile variety is used for the production of still wines, sparkling wines, fortified wines, grape juice and table gra pes. It is widespread in Crimea around Alushta and Feodosiya and on the Black Sea coast. In 2016, no stocks were reported; in 2010, there were 918 hectares (Kym Anderson statistics). Small populations are also reported to exist in Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
