A Heritage Protected by Law

The Exclusive Collection is produced by Vinăria Ialoveni on grounds where wine has been made since the middle of the 19th century.

1857

The Murzin Cellars

The estate's history begins with the Murzin cellars, built in 1857 on the present grounds of the winery. In the decades that followed, the cellars grew into the principal supplier of wines in the region, underground galleries that still anchor the house today.

1953

Moldova's Only Pelicular House

The modern winery, JSC "Vinuri-Ialoveni", was founded in 1953 and remains the only Moldovan house producing pelicular ("sherry"-style, solera-matured) wines. Those famed casks later season the oak in which the Exclusive Collection matures.

2016

The Akademos Name

Akademos 25-Year was created as a limited edition for the 70th Jubilee of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, marking 70 years since the country's first research institutions and 55 years since the Academy's founding. The name is a commemorative tribute to Moldovan scholarship.

Craft & Production

From the vineyards of the Codru region to bottling, every step follows the traditional method, measured not in months, but in decades.

  1. Base Wines

    White grapes of the Codru region - Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Aligoté, Rkatsiteli - are vinified into dry base wines destined for distillation.

  2. Double Distillation

    The wines are double-distilled in Charentais (French) copper stills, the classical method that concentrates only the finest heart of the spirit.

  3. Secular Oak

    The eau-de-vie enters secular oak casks previously used to mature Ialoveni pelicular wine, the same principle that makes Oloroso sherry casks prized the world over.

  4. 25 & 30+ Years

    Akademos rests a quarter-century in cask. Ambassador is drawn from a traditional Spanish solera of century-old barrels and finished with a gold-leaf label.
