In 2012, a new chapter began in Spain. Villa Amalia was created as the most refined and international expression of the family’s winemaking journey.

Spain became much more than a place of production; it became the emotional home of both the family and the brand. Here, experience, heritage, and a deep passion for wine came together to form a project defined by authenticity, elegance, and a strong sense of origin.

From Spain, the family’s vision expanded internationally. Over time, production partnerships were developed across multiple countries, alongside a distribution network reaching Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Oceania. Each step reinforced the same principle: absolute respect for quality, consistency, and authenticity in every bottle.

From its foundation, Villa Amalia was guided by one belief: wine should not only be produced, it should be felt.

Today, Villa Amalia represents the third generation of a family wine project that continues to evolve while remaining deeply connected to its roots.

More than a brand, it is a family story shaped by time, geography, and a shared belief that wine is a universal language - capable of connecting people, places, and cultures. Every bottle reflects a journey built on tradition, passion, and a vision that has carried the family from its origins to a global presence.

Villa Amalia continues to grow with the same philosophy that shaped its beginning: wine should be experienced emotionally, long before it is understood intellectually.

Because for us, wine is not just made. It is lived.

The development of the group naturally extended beyond its initial borders, shaping a broader international identity.

In 2010, a key milestone was reached with the acquisition and integration of the Estonian winery AS Vohu Vein, modernized to meet European winemaking standards. This marked an important step in the transformation into a truly international wine producer.

Today, the group operates across Russia, Estonia, and Spain, with a diversified structure that includes production, vineyards, and global distribution. Over more than three decades, it has combined large-scale production capacity with private label partnerships and international reach.

Yet beyond scale, the philosophy has remained unchanged: to create wines with identity, character, and emotion.

In 1992, in Saint Petersburg, Mashkyur Gasymov, originally from Azerbaijan, founded Vilash Wine.
A former professional Greco-Roman wrestler, he later transitioned into business, bringing discipline, resilience, and a strong entrepreneurial mindset.
Together with his brother, he began importing wine and supplying bottling operations in Russia. What started as a small family initiative quickly evolved into a growing wine business, shaped by adaptability, timing, and a long-term vision.
Over time, Vilash established itself as one of the leading wine producers in its segment in Russia, building a solid foundation in production and distribution that enabled international expansion.
