WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kolonist Odesa Black 2022 is produced using grapes from the Odesa region. The winemaking process involves manual harvesting, followed by vinification utilizing modern equipment sourced from France, Germany, and Italy. The wine is then aged in traditional French oak barriques, some of which are 100 years old. This approach aims to develop the inherent characteristics of the Odesa Black grape.
