- Abstract
Climate change is increasingly influencing viticulture by altering grapevine physiology, biochemical development, and regional cultivation conditions. The Khindogni grape variety, indigenous to the South Caucasus and particularly Azerbaijan, is distinguished by its strong tannin structure, deep pigmentation, and capacity to adapt to diverse environmental conditions. This study evaluates the resilience of the Khindogni variety under conditions of rising temperatures, irregular precipitation patterns, and increasing drought frequency. Based on a comparative assessment of agroclimatic indicators, phenological observations, and recent viticultural research, the study highlights the variety’s tolerance to heat stress, its ability to maintain a relatively stable sugar–acid balance under climatic variability, and its potential contribution to sustainable winemaking. Nevertheless, challenges related to soil moisture availability, evolving disease pressure, and vineyard management complexity remain significant. Overall, the Khindogni grape represents both an important element of regional viticultural heritage and a promising candidate for climate-resilient viticulture development.
