Izabella. Izabella is among the first American sorts
of grapes which were transported to Europe. The sort is known for
the big amount of its harvest and its resistance to freeze. Izabella
growers in Georgia mainly on the Black sea coast, in Azerbaijan,
Dagestan, Krasnodarskii krai and Moldavia. It is hardy and that
is why it grows on the south everywhere. Red wines with characteristic
strawberry taste, slightly coloured and meant for immediate usage
are being produced from this sort of grape. Everywhere in Kuban
Izabella is used for the production of excellent wines.
Muscat pink. Muscat pink is a sort of white Muscat.
Even though the amount of Muscat pink harvest is not so high it
is compensated by the high quality wines produced from it. The sort
possesses a wonderful ability to concentrate sugar. Only dessert
wines and liqueur drinks are being made from Muscat pink.

krai. More often these are light harmonic wines with well expressed
Muscat fragrance.
