A remarkable bottle - the only one that we know about - that originally was part of the Royal Cellar belonging to Tsar Nicholas II.  Along with other bottles in royal collection at Massandra - this bottle would have become part of Joseph Stalin's significant cellar (the Soviet leader was partial to a good drop) - which was moved in its entirety to Georgia following the invasion of Nazi Germany.  After the war, the collection was restored to its original home at Massandra. Through chance, opportunity, and good fortune, it has fallen into our hands at Caviste. In perfect condition and in its own immaculate. In perfect condition and in its own immaculate wooden box this wine should be compared to the sweetest Hungarian Tokaji (7% alcohol & 370g/litre sugar) - and we suspect last to at least the end of the 21st Century. We have decided to donate this lone bottle to the British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal via an online auction.  All proceeds from the final winning bid will go to the essential work that is being done both within the country and for refugees who have fled the conflict.
