Abstract
Research is being performed to the ‘Rkatsiteli wine grape variety. The vineyards are sited on the Smilica-
Tikveš vineyards. Plantation was started in 1996 with standard plantation material, 2.4 m planting distance
between rows, and 1.2 m distance between vines in a row. The training system is Guyot two arms, with 20
winter buds per vine. Some optimal agro-technical and ampelo-technical measures are applied. During the
research period the following items were included: phenophases on development, fruiting of buds, weight of
cluster (g), chemical composition of grape must (sugar, total acid, pH), and chemical analysis of wine. On the
basis of obtained results, we can conclude that the variety ‘Rkatsiteli belongs to the group of native varieties
(coefficient of fertility 1.10) with a 235 g average weight of cluster. The must grape contains 223 g/L sugar and
6.4 g/L total acids. The wine has a medium content of alcohol (12.33% vol) and low content of reducing sugar
(1.7 g/L), which is due to selective grape harvesting and the vinificitation technology (winemaking).
