Pavlo Magalias is the winemaker closest to Ukraine’s frontline. Work continues as regular in Parutyne. As native residents gather the harvest, shelling could be heard within the not-so-far distance.
For some staff, the uncertainty is all-consuming.
Regardless of the army exercise, winemaker Magalias is optimistic about this yr's harvest.
"That is the yr. The grapes give lots this yr, they offer every part. We have now executed the chemical evaluation, it's all good [...] It may need the scent of gunpowder, however it'll be good. This yr is a superb yr. A hundred percent."
Wine tradition in Ukraine is historically concentrated across the Crimea area.
When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, the area’s wine producers took a heavy blow.
Ukraine misplaced greater than half its bottled wines, largely semi-sweet and dessert wines. Magalia will probably be hoping for a unique consequence this yr.
