FATHERS WINE BV

Father's Wine is a family winery that creates bright original wines from unique varieties. The team continues to improve the process of making wines from Husiatyn (Ternopil region, Ukraine), drawing on world experience and constantly experimenting with new styles. All in order for you to be able to choose 100% "your" wine.

The goal of Father's Wine is to change the attitude of Ukrainians to national wine for the better, through the active development of wine culture not only at the regional level, but also throughout Ukraine!
More than 10 years ago, a successful businessman from Husiatyn - Volodymyr Buyachok, laid the first foundations of the future winery. He grew the first vines of 40 varieties of technical grapes, most of which were new and atypical for Ukrainian winemaking, in order to test the wine-growing potential of Ternopil region. His experiment was a success, and in 2010 a winery was founded.

In 2018, Volodymyr Buyachok passed away. But he left behind the idea of modern craft wine, which was picked up by the children and wife of the winemaker. His daughter Oksana and son Taras decided to continue their father's endeavors, turning his hobby into a matter of life. The wine is named after his father - Father's Wine.

In 2019, the brand successfully received a license for small winemakers and officially entered the Ukrainian market, becoming the first winery in the history of Ternopil region with its own grapes and unique varieties! Winery today: 4 hectares of own vineyards in Husiatyn; Production volume 35,000 bottles per year; Limited wine production in small batches. Original grape varieties: Helios and Dublyansky are autochthonous varieties that define a special blend of flavors of the region; Jupiter - a fragrant American variety for the production of pink wine; Johanniter is bright and voluminous, from the German Riesling family; Muscat Ottonel, from which PET NAT is made, is a white still and amber wine; Sauvignon Blanc is one of the so-called "great wine varieties"; Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Saperavi - classic varieties for the production of red wines.

We use 80% of our own plantations for wine production. Our vineyards do not use any pesticides or harmful drugs, and the grapes are harvested by hand. The winery is equipped with high-tech European equipment from Italy, Bulgaria and Slovenia. Fermentation takes place in professional stainless steel tanks. Exposure is practiced in clay amphorae and oak barrels from France and Ukraine.

KOLONIST WINERY

“Kolonist” represents Plachkov family’s pride, the result of their ongoing devotion and the expression of love and passion for the land and its generosity. The Plachkov family founded their own winery in 2005 in order to produce premium local wines.

Kolonist winery is situated in a famous Ukrainian wine producing region – Danubian Bessarabia (the South of Odessa region).

33 hectares of vines are pruned by the Guyot and Cordon methods, grow on the loam soils which are rich in minerals with deep layers of lime. This modern pruning systems provide low crop capacity, which in combination with with special terroir give high-quality grapes. Each grapevine bears only a few bunches (harvested manually) which has rich flavour and gives wine strength, harmony and elegancy. Geographical position at the same latitude with Bordeaux in France and Piedmont in Italy gives an excellent opportunity to grow grapes in perfect climate conditions. The combination of a unique terroir, modern equipment from France, Germany and Italy and the traditional French 100-year-old oak barriques gives the Kolonist a right to be proud of its high-quality wines.

The winery started with a total volume of 30,000 wines on the market, today it consists of 300,000 bottles of wine, which include steel aged wines and a sparkling wine "Bisser" classic champagne method, semi-dry and dessert wines. In addition to wine, Kolonist makes oils from grape seeds, two types of balsamic oil, and cosmetic oil.

Kolonist wines have been represented twice in the Parliament of UK, in the Embassies of Belgium, France, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece and Germany, in the Embassy of Ukraine to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In December 2011 an outstanding world wine expert Oz Clarke and top UK wine journalists highly estimated Kolonist wines.

In 2013 at the World Wine Exhibition in London, organized by famous wine critics M. Bettane and Th. Desseauve, Kolonist wines signed in to the TOP three wines in the Wine Premier nomination. Kolonist wines were awarded with honourary title "Commended" by the judges of one of the most influential competition "International Wine Challenge" which takes place annually in London: Cabernet Merlot 2013 and Chardonnay 2016 «Haut de gamme», and Cabernet Merlot LX.

In 2017 Kolonist wines were represented to the best 12 British wines journalists and experts.
