Ukrainian Odesa Black - the wine that can be found only in the Black Sea region, is the most common for this variety!

History

Vine-growing and wine-making farm “Vynhol Oksamytne” was founded in 1998 in the village of Velvet of the Bolhrad district of the Odesa region on the territory where Count Davydov’s vineyard chateau was located 120 years ago.  

For more than 15 years, our winery produced wines familiar to many consumers, bottled under the brands of other well-known brands. Since 2017, the company has decided to enter the Ukrainian market with its own brands.

This is how Villa Tinta® – a collection of dry ordinary wines from local and European grape varieties, Tintarella® – sparkling wines made using Sharma technology and Tinta® – semi-sweet blended wines appear.  In 2018, our company, together with the winemakers of the Yalpug valley, participated in the creation of one of the first PDO Yalpug geographical indications in Ukraine for wines from the Odessa Black and Sukholimansky varieties and the PGI of the same name for wine from European grape varieties.

This is definitely for the adventurous wine drinker - like to try something different, natural, biodynamic - even a little 'funky' then this one is for you!

History

The Chateau  Chizay is a true country estate surrounded by vineyards. It was this French concept and its aesthetics that inspired us when creating Chateau Chizay, located near the ancient town of Berehove.

Transcarpathia is a historical wine region. The slopes of the volcanic Carpathian Mountains, plenty of sunlight, and sufficient water have fostered winemaking in these lands since ancient times. Zakarpattia (Transcarpathian) wines were supplied to the courts of medieval kings and nobles, and even to the presidents of modern states.

The culture of Transcarpathian winemaking is unique because it has combined Hungarian, Italian, and Austrian traditions throughout historical vicissitudes. It was this cultural fusion that yielded such an interesting and colorful product – Transcarpathian wine.

And at Chateau Chizay, we make it exclusively from our own Zakarpattia grapes. 272 hectares of vineyards in perfect Zakarpattia terroirs. Masters who respect local traditions and have learned the modern winemaking techniques in Europe. Inspiration from history, energy for the future. All of this is added to the bouquet of our wines.

Chateau Chizay winery complex was founded in 1995 in the Chizay tract near the town of Berehove in Zakarpattia. We built a modern production facility from scratch, but with attention to the local winemaking history. Our principles are hard work and honesty, respect for nature, and love for what we do.

Making simply quality wines is interesting, but we want more. We’re not satisfied with just being the best. It has to be unique. We are creating a new history of winemaking in Zakarpattia and Europe, and today Chateau Chizay is not just a winery, but a winemaking town, a center of noble craftsmanship, and a handmade wonder of Zakarpattia.

Yes, we make wine. But – more than wine. We create emotions. And – a new glory of Zakarpattia Wine. This is the philosophy of Chateau Chizay. We know and love! Welcome to our world!
