Sukhaya Gora Winery
General Director of the enterprise: Aleksander Pinchuk

Aleksander Pinchuk is a representative of a famous dynasty of winemakers. He graduated from Krasnodar Polytechnic Institute with a degree in food processing chemist. Working in the Lefkadiya Winery with such masters of winemaking as Patrick Leon, Gilles Rey, Jean Francois Joumier, and others made Aleksander a real professional.
