Peculiarities of vinification. This elegant sweet golden-to-straw-coloured wine is crafted from Muscat grapes, grown in the vineyard of the protected geographical indication «Kuban. Taman peninsula». The grapes are left on the vine until the sugar level of 320-330 g/l is attained. Due to the high density of the wine and the sugar level, the fermentation proceeds very slowly and requires permanent control of winemakers – but it eventually gives a light sweet wine.
