In 1852 in the tract Magarach (means "source") was built winery. The first scientists and winemakers at this plant were Franz Gasquet and Anastasius Serbulent attended by the Director of the Nikitsky garden Nicholas Hartwiss. They had a primary goal: "to make only healthy wine that can be stored for long periods, not trying to do a likeness in taste or composition of the bouquet of any known foreign wines".

Soon the experts in the study of viticulture and wine from him, made sure that the grapes grown on the southern coast of Crimea, ideal for the manufacture of both strong and dessert wines. In order to better learn and consolidate the results obtained, the wine left in the cellar for long term storage. The result was a collection of plant "Magarach".

This wine, considered the oldest Russian wine, listed in the Guinness Book of records".
