Viticulture

A continental climate prevails. The wine-growing areas are located in the valleys of Talas and Chui in the northwest, in the Issyk-Kul basin at up to 1,800 meters elevation in the east, as well as in the south. Almost everywhere, artificial irrigation is required. In 2022, the vineyards covered 4,831 hectares of vine area, and the wine production volumes were 12,000 hectoliters. The autochthon varieties Bayanshira, Budeshuri Tsiteli, Kuldzhinskii, Mairam, Rkatsiteli, and Saperavi, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Muscat Blanc, Muscat d’Hamburg, Pinot Noir, and Riesling are cultivated.
