Odesa Black VIP

Ukraine

Odessa Black, a standout Ukrainian variety, shows rich dark maroon hues with aromas of prunes, berry jam, pepper, and dark chocolate. The palate is complex and layered, featuring oak, chocolate, and forest fruits. Ideal with spiced lamb or roasted meats.

Villa Tinta “Odesa Black VIP” is a premium dry red wine from the Bolhrad district in the Odesa region of southern Ukraine. Made from 100% Odesa Black (Odesky Cherny), the wine is matured for several months in French oak barrels, enhancing its depth, colour, and complexity. It showcases the potential of one of Ukraine’s most distinctive native grape varieties, combining richness and refinement.

Plum Jam, Blackberry, Red Pepper, Dark Chocolate, Leather, Subtle Oak

  • Grilled lamb with spice rub
  • Roast beef with peppercorn sauce
  • Game dishes such as duck or venison
  • Dark chocolate desserts

Odesa Black is a Ukrainian-bred grape, a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Alicante Bouschet, created to thrive in the warm southern climate near the Black Sea. Villa Tinta’s “VIP” bottling is considered one of the most polished expressions of this variety, offering the depth of a classic Bordeaux blend with the intensity and spice of southern European reds.
