“We are happy to see that our efforts are being rewarded. Over the years, we have paid special attention to the vineyard, having good and dedicated specialists by our side, investing in the irrigation system. Therefore, now we like to say that this is the time when we are reaping the rewards,” said Oana Belu, co-owner of Domeniile Ostrov.
Domeniile Ostrov and Ostovit, the two companies in the group, which produce grapes, make wine and offer accommodation services for tourists, are majority-owned by the Agro-Coh Mogosoaia family farming association, made up of several farmers.
At present, Domeniile Ostrov is harvesting grapes and first estimates show that about 12,000 tons of wine grapes will be produced, more than expected, because almost 80% of the Domeniile Ostrov area can be irrigated, its officials say.
“This has played a big part in achieving an above-expected production in the context of this year’s drought.”
Domeniile Ostrov ended 2021 with RON40 million revenue.
