The Mozart Wine House Sommelier Academy, with the support of the East European Association of Sommeliers and Experts, recently hosted a vibrant "Wines of Russia" masterclass!
During the session, we explored the current trends in Russian winemaking and shared insights on industry development, evolving quality standards, and market prospects. It was fascinating to see how modern technology seamlessly blends with tradition to shape the industry's future style.
The tasting portion allowed participants to experience a rich diversity of flavors and aromas. We paid special attention to the wineries of the Don Valley — VinaBani and Tsimlyansk Wines — which brilliantly showcase the region's potential and the richness of its unique terroir. The program also featured exceptional selections from Crimea and the Krasnodar Krai.
The conclusion is clear: Russian winemaking is reaching a new level, confidently combining regional character, production innovation, and impeccable standards.
A heartfelt thank you to all participants for your inspiration and engagement! Stay tuned for announcements regarding future events at the Mozart Wine House Sommelier Academy.
