Champagne "Derbent": reviews
Probably, in Russia there are few such people who at least once have not tried this drink. Gourmets claim that it has a rich grape flavor, as well as an aftertaste that dissolves in the mouth with all kinds of shades of sunny berries.
It is distinctive that this drink is not highly carbonated. In addition, it successfully and harmoniously combines sweetness with sourness. “Derbent” is semi-sweet champagne, it has long become a real symbol of the New Year. The one who tried it says: bursting bubbles of a golden drink will certainly cheer you up, and its taste, not tinted by the bitterness that is usual for most types of champagne and a bit unnatural aftertaste, goes well with any delicacy - from fruit sweet slices to delicious meat dishes.
How did it all start?
The history of the plant begins in the late nineteenth century. Thanks to the generous Derbent vineyards, it was not so difficult to establish the production of the best sparkling wine . A distinctive feature of the enterprise was that it covered the entire process of preparation of the drink: from the first steps in collecting and processing sun-grapes to the release of finished products. Russian champagne Derbentskoe quickly gained special fame among such sparkling wines.
Several years ago, the plant acquired new specimens for vineyards - exquisite varieties of chardonnay, cabernet and other plant varieties purchased from Serbian seed suppliers were planted on an area of 1300 hectares. The next step was to improve the drip system of irrigation of grapes, equally willingly absorbing both charitable moisture and the rays of the sun.
The secret of exquisite taste
The secret preparation of the drink Derbent winemakers are very willing to share. The fact is that there is no secret. Russian champagne "Derbent" is made from berries grown in warm climates, in the soil, which has a special composition, under the trembling rays of the generous southern sun. In addition, the plant is located in the resort area, where the Caspian Sea significantly affects the favorable climate. Winter leaves these lands quickly enough - snow usually does not lie for more than two weeks. But the summer is very long and sunny and warm. All this contributes to the production of high-quality wine.
The superiority of the sparkling drink is confirmed by other factors. Champagne "Derbent", reviews of which are positive, are also appreciated by the business partners of the plant. Experts are inclined to one thing: the sparkling wine factory is the leader in alcoholic beverages in Russia.
Champagne Benefits
The benefits of a sparkling wine drink are many. The excellent taste, which we have already mentioned, and the Derbent champagne is distinguished by their amazingly low cost. The price of one bottle does not exceed 150 rubles. Agree, by today's standards, it's pretty inexpensive. And if you add an amazing taste and undeniable quality, tested over the years, it turns out a very profitable option. Of course, the question may arise: why is it so cheap? The answer is simple: because the Dagestan wine factory uses its own products without purchasing raw materials abroad or in other cities. Hence the “grow legs” of the low cost of the drink.
Probably, every lover and connoisseur of champagne was able to notice that the label has a personal signature of the plant manager Magomed Sadulayev. In addition, the bottles are sealed with a branded cork with an inscription, and under the label there is a personal number.
White or pink?
Most people prefer white semi-sweet sparkling wine. But believe me, in this case, lovers of another variety of the drink, which is famous for “Derbent”, will not stand aside. Champagne pink, according to ordinary buyers, is no less known than white. The natural color of the drink is not in doubt: this wine does not contain dyes and other artificial components, which in our time are saturated with almost all products and alcohol (for example, red and white wine made from wine powder, which is colder than resistant chemical paints )
Pink champagne "Derbent", reviews of which are only laudatory, is no worse than the usual white. And how much can you talk about the taste of pink temptation, saturated with hints of barberry and juicy raspberries! In total, today the plant produces ten types of champagne, producing up to 120 thousand bottles per day. There is also an assortment of classic ones made according to the French recipe.
Factory success
A lot can be said about the achievements of the wine producer. It was the Derbent champagne that brought glory to the plant. Reviews about the drink can be heard not only from buyers, but also from experts who refer to the results of the company's participation in exhibitions of various sizes. This brings its results - in addition to many medals and diplomas (Grand Prix and 266 medals of various classifications), the plant has received professional recognition as the country's best winemakers.
So, we can say that the Derbent champagne has three important components: price, taste and quality. They distinguish it from the total mass of wines. Today, the plant is fully equipped with the most modern bottling technology - the equipment was manufactured by enterprises in Italy and Germany. Is it worth mentioning that the plant area is constantly expanding and modernizing. This applies not only to land allotted for vineyards, but also to industrial premises, equipment, and containers. The construction of a new biochemical workshop is in full swing, the opening of which will allow several times to increase the production of sparkling wine. Thanks to the fruitful work of the sparkling wine factory, the production of champagne has significantly increased in Dagestan. And this directly affected the number of charity events that the management of the enterprise constantly carries out.
