Not far from the location of the plant on the Taman Peninsula was the ancient Greek colony Phanagoria, which appeared there before our era and existed for several centuries. It was her name that was taken as a basis by the creators of the brand.
In addition to shops for the production of alcoholic beverages, the company also owns its own cooperage, which produces oak barrels for storing wines and cognacs.

Production features
Raw materials for creating the best wine collections, such as Cru Lermont, Reserve, 100 Shades of White / Red and some others, are grown on their own plantations located in the Fanagoria wine region.
The mild climate and soil features are favorable for grapevine cultivation, and the presence of unique mud volcanoes gives local wines a special mineral taste.
For the production of white drinks, a pneumatic press and settling at low temperatures are used, which allows the grape juice to be clarified.
Depending on the category of wine, the following processes can be applied:
Infusion of grape pulp (mass of seeds, pulp and juice) at low temperature and subsequent pressing.
Aging on yeast lees.
Fermentation in oak barrels.
Red wine involves the use of special containers – vinifiers. At the factory, they are represented by six varieties.
Fermentation in each of the devices allows you to get a drink with its own taste and aromatic characteristics.
The intensity and frequency of mixing also makes it possible to diversify the bouquet.
After passing through all the stages: fermentation, blending and processing (the process can take several years), the drinks are filtered. This is the last step before bottling.
Natural corks are used to cork wines, which allows to preserve the most natural taste.
Famous collections of Phanagoria
The company produces all categories of wines, including sparkling and rosé, as well as spirits: cognac, brandy, vodka and balsams. A special pride of the plant is a series of premium wines, among which the following brands are most famous:
