The wine region of Lower Volga
Russian vineyard along the lower Volga (from the Caspian delta to Volgograd), harsh continental climate requiring winter earthing-up of vines, sandy and loamy soils. Rkatsiteli (imported from Georgia, >1/3 of plantings) is the signature white: dry and crisp with citrus, green apple, white flowers, herbs and a mineral edge, taut acidity. Aligoté and Riesling also produced. Cold-resistant hybrids planted widely.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
