The name 'Krasnostop' is derived from the Russian words Krasniy (Russian: Красный, which means Red) and Stopa (Russian: Стопа, which means Grape stalks),^[4] that describe the appearance of its stems. It gives wines that are typically rich in tannins, alcohol and acidity, with flavors reminiscent of dark plums, redcurrant and green pepper.^[5] Notable producers include Vedernikov Winery^[6] and Domaines Burnier, both of which produce a varietal wine from this rare grape.
