Russia keeps proving to be a country with a huge potential for winemaking. Adopting the best traditions of the Old World, it manages to bring something new to the familiar tastes and flavors. However, when coming to actual tasting, the question arises: should all wine brands from Russia be trusted?
Let’s try to find out together!
Winemaking in Russia has just started to revive from the ashes of the so-called “dry law”. Wineries that had been deserted and closed, begin to open again. Independent wine enthusiasts try their skills in this industry. There aren’t too many companies in Russia that produce wine. And there are even fewer companies that make actually good products worth attention and money.
Here’s our top selection of the best Russian wine brands:
- Myskhako
- SORT
- Lefkadia Valley
- Chateau Le Grand Vostok
What makes us confident in this choice? First, we visit all wineries ourselves and try their products. This is how we select the best items for Wine Russian House online store. Second, we choose the wine that we love to drink. And finally, each of these wineries has something interesting and unique to offer – whether it’s a long history or premium quality wines.
Myskhako
One of the oldest wineries in the country. A bottle of Myskhako is a great choice for both a luxury anniversary dinner or meeting with friends. The company offers a wide selection of products: dry red or white, rose and sparkling wines. Located on the shore of the Black Sea, Myskhako remains the magnet for local tourists who want to get acquainted with the secrets of winemaking.
SORT
A young winery with huge potential. SORT focuses on the production of varietal wines. There are only four kinds of grapes cultivated on the territory of the vineyard: Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay – for white wines, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon – for red wines. The motto of the brand is “Every person can find his own favorite kind”.
Lefkadia Valley
Lefkadia Valley is not just a winery but a wine paradise. It’s a perfect place to spend a weekend far away from city noises and crowds of people. Those who don’t have a chance to visit Lefkadia Valley anytime soon can still enjoy their high-quality wines. The brand offers both well-known kinds of wine, like Merlot, Riesling, or Cabernet Franc, and local wines that are not represented by any European companies or winemakers – Rkatsiteli and Saperavi. Get your bottles on the website of Wine Russian House and try top-rated products of Russian winemaking.
Chateau Le Grand Vostok
Located in the North Caucasus, this large winery owns 250 ha of land. The company sticks to the traditions of French winemaking, inviting experts from France, buying vines in European countries, implementing the ideas of production, and ordering French oak barrels. Chateau Le Grand Vostok is famous for delicious varietal wines: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Aligote. Be sure to try wines made from local grape varieties – for example, Krasnostop.
