The red grape variety (also Levokumskij) originates from Russia. It is named after a district of the Krasnodar region in the extreme southwest in the foothills of the Caucasus. The parentage is unknown. The vine is frost-resistant to minus 27 °Celsius, resistant to fungal diseases such as botrytis, powdery and downy mildew, and also to phylloxera. It produces simple wines. The Dorte is grown in the Russian areas of Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Oblast. In 2016, 890 hectares of vines were reported in Russia (Kym Anderson statistics).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
