Background:

Short description of the business and its development stages

• In 1924, viticultorist Niculae Vlădoi, together with other families from the Drăgășani area, founded the Siminoc settlement, a village located 20 kilometers from Constanța, setting up the first vineyard with hybrid and noble varieties, brought from the Drăgășani area. Much of the vineyard was confiscated during the socialism years.
• After 1989, the family regained the inheritance of the grandparents, a vineyard of almost 19 hectares, which they will vinify intheir own winery, beginning from 1995. In 2006, the vineyard was renewed by the complete replacement of the existing cuttings with varieties that have a higher cappacity of sugar and flavor accumulation, to the detriment of quantity.

The own winery modernization project approved in 2009, began with the implementation of a  drip irigation system, fed by a drilling well, as well as with the pruchase of a wine tractor with the related equipment. The financing obtained after the approval of the modernization projects led to the creation of a young plantation, with superior varieties, capitalized by stainless steel vinifiers, controlled fermentation, pneumatic press and other equipment necessary to obtain a quality wine. Today, the Vlădoi Family Winery has a processing capacity of 200 tons of grapes and storage of 80,000 liters in stainless steel tanks, being equipped with modern technological equipment.
