From the history of the plant

The history of the Koktebel winemaking goes deep into the centuries; it is known that even in ancient times wine production was successfully carried out here . Industrial wine-making in Koktebel was born in 1879 . thanks to the scientist E . Jung - it was he who prepared the local fertile lands for the first grape plantations . А . Jung continued the work begun by the father, having completed the construction of the winery . The modern winery in Koktebel was founded in 1944 . It appeared by combining two Koktebel farms - the collective farm . Voroshilov and the collective farm . Kirov and the collective farm "Sudak" . At first, the coke Belarusian production administratively belonged to Yalta "Massandra" . In the middle of the century, the winery had about 200 hectares of vineyards, in time their area has increased significantly, now the vine has a territory of 2200 hectares, and production facilities and warehouses occupy another 16 hectares .

Subtlety of technology

At the Koktebel winery a full production cycle has been realized, which is not typical for the Crimean enterprises of this profile . Through the hands of its workers grapes passes all the stages of transformation into a valuable th drink: planting of grape cuttings, harvesting and processing, subsequent long-term barrel aging in the cellars and, finally, bottling of finished products in bottles . In the thickness of the coastal hill, there are many meters (up to 120 m) tunnels in which barrels with wine are kept , different cellar levels correspond to wines of different ages . The special pride of the wine factory "Koktebel" is the organization of the Madery aging . The madder's shop begins with a special greenhouse where Madera ripens throughout the year, where barrels of wine are kept in the sun for another three years .

Thanks to modern technological measures in good weather conditions, the harvesting of grapes in Koktebel can be about 20 thousand tons, as was, for example, the record year of 1973. But, unfortunately, the ideal Crimean weather is infrequent.
