Tsimlyansky Cherny

The red grape variety originates from Russia. Synonyms are Cherny Vinny, Chimlyanskii Chernyi, Cimljanszki Csorruej, Csinlanszky Noir, Grouchovy, Grushevyi, Hrupkaya Kist, Khroupkaia Kist, Krasnostop, Tsimlyansky, Tsimliansky Tcherny, Tzimlansky Noir, Vinnyi Tsimlyanskii and Zymplansky. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2013, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Plechistik x Kokur Bely. However, this is based on only 20 DNA markers (see molecular genetics). The medium-maturing vine is susceptible to downy mildew. It yields red wines with integrated tannins, as well as aromas of dried plums, black pepper and leather. The old variety is cultivated in the Rostov region along the Don River and Krasnodar in the southwest. It is used for dry to sweet wines, sparkling wines and fortified dessert wines. In 2016, 451 hectares of vineyards were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).
