Tour to «Et Cetera» winery
Short description of «ET CETERA» winery
Et Cetera winery dates its history back to 2002, when the wine-grower and businessman Alexander Lukyanov had bought the land for growing grape-vine in the Moldavian Crocmaz village, the Stefan Voda district. Choosing this piece of ground had reason behind it, because the Crocmaz village has extremely productive micro-climate for grapes growing: it is located 25 km from the Dniester Estuary and 75 km from the Black Sea. The new company had all preconditions for success thanks to fertile soil and excellent skills of wine-makers. But the success came step by step.
Lukyanov´s family started with cultivating grapes in 2003. After the first harvest Et Cetera wines won the first gold medal in a local wine competition. Alexander´s brother Igor joined the project in 2006. The Lukyanov brothers put joint efforts to build the winery in 2009.
Et Cetera experts applied modern technologies and traditional winery methods to achieve unique aroma and flavour. Et Cetera´s wine terraces make 16.9 ha. The annual grapes harvest amounts to 130 tons to be picked up manually. They transport the best grapes into cellars for further fermentation: the red sorts are put into rustproof containers; the white sorts are placed into the oak barrels. Grapes are harvested in autumn following all relevant requirements, such as perfect balance of aroma, tannin, colour, sugar and acidity content.
Et Cetera is a family winery, and Lukyanov family is convinced that love and care is the pledge for welfare of each family. Et Cetera hospitable owners welcome their guests with care and love.
Let us quoting the saying of Et Cetera team: “We produce unique wines which flavour and aroma are saturated with the spirit of Moldavian soil”.
