📍 Tatarbunary

Tatarbunary vines grow on southern gray chernozem, the soil under V. Petrov Winery at Strumok. Founded in 2003, this certified-organic winery farms more than 76 ha planted at 4,000 vines per hectare. The vines are about 15 years old, and the winery makes only 20,000 to 30,000 litres a year.

The district itself is a seaside part of Ukrainian Bessarabia (Budjak), with vineyards by the estuaries and Cabernet Sauvignon and Aligoté as the main grapes.
