Krasnostop Zolotovsky is an indigenous Russian grape variety [1] [2] [3] that is regarded as the local grape with the best potential for red wine production.

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.
