Stakhovsky Winery is owned and operated by Sergiy Stakhovsky, who was Ukraine's best tennis player and started wine production in 2015. When Russia attacked Ukraine in 2022, he dropped his tennis career and joined the army, where he has since fought on the front line and in a decisive special unit.
The vineyards, totaling 22.7 hectares, are in western Ukraine at the foot of the Carpathians and face southwest. Stakhovsky uses French oak barrels and high-tech equipment from Italy and Germany.
Zakarpattia is one of the best wine regions in Ukraine. It is protected from cold fronts by the Carpathians. The region has mild sunlight and an optimal amount of rainfall. The soil is predominantly limestone, full of minerals and micronutrients that give the grapes a unique taste and the wine a completely special character.
