Aisberg, Ltd., Joint Ukrainian-American-Russian Venture

Director - Oleh I. Ivashkovych

JV “AISBERG” Ltd. was founded in November 1995 in the town of Beregove, in Chizai, Transcarpathian region, Ukraine.

The products of JV “AISBERG” Ltd. was produced under the trademark of the American Corporation “GOLD ZIP” Ltd. till April of 2001.

Since April of 2001 all products have been bottled under the trademark “CHIZAI”, the name came from the place where the venture is situated.

The location was chozen intentionally. In Transcarpathia viticulture goes back to hundred-year-old history. Nature endowed excellent fertile soil. Slopes of the volcanic mountains on which grapes grow are rich in minerals as well as optimum amount of sunshine give an exceptional taste to the wine maturing in oak barrels in ancient cellars. As a result of this lucky coincidence of nature conditions, the industry of winegrowers and wine-makers from generation to generation observing traditions and keeping the secrets of their professions for many centuries, the bouquet of Transcarpathian wines is born.

The geographical location causes relations between Transcarpathia and Hungary, the country having enormous first-class raw material potential. The cooperation with the Hungarian firm “PROMONTORBOR RT” Tokaji-Mad, which holds the leading position in making Tokaji wines, helped us to start producing this famous wine in Transcarpathia too.
Productive infrastructure of JV “AISBERG” Ltd. is situated on the territory, its total area is 3.5 hectares. All this area of the productive and the store-houses is 4660 m2 and consists of:
- Productive and wine store-houses of the plant - 2900 m2 ;
- Wine cellars (depositories) – 1300 m2 ;
- Offices - 460 m2 .

In 1997 the new production line was placed with the capacity of 5000 bottles per hour. Thanks to the high automation of the technological processes twelve persons operate the production line.

The technological productive conditions and the quality of production are being controlled on several levels – expert wine-makers, laboratories, the State Committee of metrology and standardization. Numerous wine store houses give the opportunity to put on wine line production of high quality with necessary standards and hygienic norms.

Wine production (secondary wine-making) is not seasonal, it is based only on a state of the market and presence of qualitative wine materials. Now wine material is being worked up to rich all necessary technological standards and to liquidate the inclination to dimness. As far as the standards of each wine material batch are different, the terms are individual for each batch. It is the quality of production, which is the most important in processing.

Since autumn of 2000 the JV “AISBERG” Ltd. has been processing grapes from local winegrowers as well as its own wine-materials. Some of the wine materials are brought from vineyards of Hungary, the Republic of Crimea and some regions of Ukraine: Odessa, Kherson, Mykolayiv.
