Most of the wines produced are fortified (#Port or Madeira style) or dessert wines (#Muscat, #Tokay or #Sauternes style) and in a typical over 1 million cases are produced. In the 1890’s the Tsar Aleksander III Romanov decided to build the ‘Best winery in the World’ at Massandra to provide wines for his nearby Summer Palace at Livadia. During construction, miners were brought from Georgia to tunnel deep into the mountainside and construct cellars on three levels. One of the finest winery cellars in the world, the temperature is a perfect and constant 13/14 degrees Centigrade. The first wine maker at Massandra from 1894 to 1915 was Prince Lev Sergeivich Golitzin (The bust in 2nd 📷 near the main entrance to the winery). During this period, Golitzin collected many fine wines from other parts of the world, all of which were donated to Massandra upon his death, the start of what is now known as the Massandra Collection. The collection remained safe during the Russian revolution for the tunnels in which it was stored had been bricked up and concealed. The Massandra Collection is one of the largest collections of old wines in the world, estimated at over 1 million bottles, covering vintages from as far back as 1775. Available for commercial sales are wines dating back to 1891, including some of the extremely rare bottles incorporating the Tsar’s personal seal. While touring the winery in 2015 , Vladimir #Putin and Silvio Berlusconi allegedly drank from a 1775 bottle of Jeres de la Frontera (4th📷) worth $90,000. #Путин #MyVinotheque #vinoblanco #vinotinto #redwine🍷 #whitewine #WINE🍷
