Gitana

Gitana Winery

The Gitana Winery was founded in 1999 based on an older winery founded in 1953, which became the property of the Dulgher family. The latter undertook major efforts to re-equip the factory, renovate the cellars, equip them with barrels and oak vats and, of course, planted new vineyards.

The vineyards owned by Gitana are part of the Valul lui Traian winegrowing region, the total area of the winery sums to 390 ha. Gitana Winery is in a constant process of expanding its vineyards, giving much importance to the cultivation of local grape varieties. Gitana vineyards are located in the area of two villages of the Leova district and are divided into three areas. One area is in the Filipeni village, and the other two are the Romanovca village.

In the winemaking process of white wines, after the grapes destemming and crushing, winery uses cryomaceration. The cryomaceration technique allows the extraction of the maximum amount of flavour substances found in the inner part of the grape skin, without negatively influencing the quality of white wine. The obtained must is cooled to 5-8 ° C for a period of time ranging from 10 to 24 hours. The maturation of white wine takes place in stainless steel vessels or in 225 litre barrels. Characteristic of red wines is a maceration-fermentation process on top of the must. Fermentation takes place in oak tubs, solely with the help of local yeasts. The process takes about 20 days, during which time the must is in contact with the grape mark and takes over the necessary tannins, the aromas, and the necessary dyes.

Bardar

Bardar Distillery

The famous Moldovan distillery, Bardar, celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2019.

Bardar is a symbol of the tradition that began in 1929, when a German entrepreneur named Muller laid the foundations of a small distillery which is today the Bardar Distillery. This small distillery with big potential gave birth to an enterprise which benefitted from the heat of the sun, the rich and well-kept vineyards, the secular oak wood and al-so the skilfulness of the employees and created an absolute harmony for the production of the quality Divins.

At present, the Bardar Distillery is among the TOP 3 Divin producers of the Republic of Moldova. The ingredients of the Divin have not changed since its creation. The bouquet comes from grapes, offered by nature, harvested, and selected with dedication. The essence comes from the oak, which grows in the secular forests of the Republic of Moldova. Complexity comes from patience, which is a human virtue and requires time and dedication. “Solely grapes, oak and patience” are the necessary ingredients for the pro-duction of Bardar Divin, thus, making it an exclusive and authentic wine distillate.
