Welcome to “Dionysos-Mereni” S.A.!
Our winery is situated in the central part of the Republic of Moldova in Merenii-Noi village. It is about 20 km from the capital of the republic – city of Chisinau (Kishinev). The relief in this part of the country is mostly hilly. Fertile lands intermit with the deep forests – Codru. About 50 % of all Moldavian vineyards are concentrated in this area. Thanks to the landscape features, vineyards are kept protected from the extreme frost in winter. It also helps to accumulate sugar and minerals in optimal quan-tities in summer.

The winery was built in the 1959. Initially it was meant for the primary processing of the grapes. During 37 years the best wine material was transported to the bottling plants throughout the former Soviet Union.

In the year 1995 the process of renovation has begun. The winery has been privatized and reorganized into the joint-stock company ‘Dionysos-Mereni’. In the same year the new filling line «Techno Food» was installed. ‘Dionysos-Mereni’ became a full-cycle winery.

In the year 2000 the Board of Directors decided to launch a program of quality wines production. This has been a point where the new history of the winery started.

Today Carlevana Winery. is fully reequipped. The winery’s staff consists of 150 employees. They are mostly Merenii-Noi or the near villages’ inhabitants. People born here feel the land they work with as no one else. It is very important, as they look after the vines and grapes. Besides, the grapes are harvested by hand. This is a necessary requirement for the technology of the best wines production.

Winemaking is an art. You understand it when you meet our winemakers and taste their wines. They know the process to a nicety.

Speaking of the process of winemaking itself, we have to say, that we use the most up-to-date equipment and technologies from around the world and, of course, native Moldavian know-how and skills.
