What sort of grape juice?

Here's a little quiz. I'm currently in Russia, learning about the wines produced in the far south of the country on the shores of the Black Sea, just east of the Crimea.
The fortunes of the first company I visited, yesterday, Fanagoria, used to be based on natural fruit juices, many of them varietally labelled grape juices. Who can tell me which grape variety is named on the label shown here, produced in 1985 to tie in with a major sporting event?
I'll publish a short video that explains all tomorrow..
