This is what good wine from the Sukholymanske grape tastes like

Sukholymanske, also known as Sukholimansky or Sukholimansky Bely, is a Ukrainian grape. It makes light, floral white wines, both still and sparkling. Outside Ukraine you rarely come across them (yet).

Sukholymanske is a cross between Chardonnay and Plavai, created in a laboratory in Odesa in 1949. Plavai was still fairly widely planted in Moldova at the time; today it is almost extinct.

Sukholymanske is found mainly in Ukraine's Odesa region, and further east around Mykolaiv and Kherson. Ukrainians hope it will become the country's signature grape. Together with Odesa Black, it is one of Ukraine's most important indigenous assets.
