Brand History
Winemaking in the Crimea was practiced long before the emergence of official wine and cognac production. This was facilitated by the favorable climate for growing grapes, close to the conditions of Bordeaux, Turin and Tuscany, and the developed trade in the region. Local drinks were actively sold to Europe, monastery wine was especially popular.
The wine shop in Bakhchisarai was opened only in 1963. Initially, it consisted of a small screw press and several containers for processing raw materials. After the reconstruction, the enterprise has its own warehouses, cellars, bottling lines. The expansion of capacities made it possible to increase the volume of processed grapes up to 10-20 thousand tons per year.
Today, the Bakhchisaray Kazan Helicopter Plant produces a wide range of alcoholic beverages: wine, balsams, cider, vermouth, liqueurs, vodkas, cognacs.
Raw materials for their manufacture are grown on the plantations of the Zavetnoye agricultural company.
Along with autochthonous varieties, European varieties are cultivated here: Riesling, Aligote, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, etc.
The plant is a full-cycle enterprise, independently carrying out all operations: from processing fruits to bottling ready-made drinks.
