Odesa Black festive set

Odesa Black is Ukraine’s signature red grape, bred in 1948 at the V.E. Tairov Institute of Viticulture and Winemaking in Odesa through a cross of Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon. Its deep, inky hue and complex tannin-driven profile have earned it acclaim both domestically and abroad, with plantings now found in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.  Recognising its cultural and oenological importance, advocates have proposed May 5 as National Odesa Black Day—commemorating the date the variety was officially recognised—and celebrations will be centred at its birthplace, the Tairov Institute. Wines from Odesa Black exhibit rich blackberry and plum aromas, balanced acidity, and robust structure, making them ideal for both youthful enjoyment and cellaring.
