The people behind it all

One family.
The whole journey.

The same hands that pruned the vines poured the first glass and wrote the first line of code. This is the family — and the friends — who built a vineyard, a winery, and the technology that runs it.

The family

Where it all begins.

Dr. Daniel Rusev
Founder · Winemaker & Technologist

Dr. Daniel Rusev

Daniel grew up among the vines. He planted them with his father, raised the winery, then engineered the TSAR control system that now cools our fermentation — the architect of both our wine and our technology.

Dr. Mihaela Rusev
Founder · The Cellar & the Story

Dr. Mihaela Rusev

Mihaela shapes how Tsarina meets the world — from the cellar to the label to the people who pour our wine. She turns a family craft into a story worth sharing.

One family · three creations

The people who grow the grapes also write the algorithms.

Most wineries hire out their vineyard, their cellar, or their technology. Here, it is one continuous story — kept in the family, shared with a handful of scientists and engineers who believe wine is worth the effort.

The bench

Engineers & scientists

Eng. Venelin Borisov
Hardware & Instruments

Eng. Venelin Borisov

Venelin designs and builds the SCEPTER instruments — the sensors and modules that let us read every tank in real time.

Assoc. Prof. Nikolay Stoyanov
Enology Advisor

Assoc. Prof. Nikolay Stoyanov

Three decades of industrial winemaking. Nikolay calibrates our craft against a lifetime spent at the tank.

Assoc. Prof. Panko Mitev
Science Advisor

Assoc. Prof. Panko Mitev

Panko brings the thermodynamics — the physics beneath the biology of fermentation.
