Vineyards

Land plots for this autochthonous grape variety are located on the southern face of the Semisam Mountain range at elevation from 160 to 200 meters above sea level on clay limestone soils. This variety ripens quite early, it has small bunches and berries thus accumulating well sugars and polyphenols, and at the same time, maintaining a high level of acidity. As a result, the vineyard produces wines which are notably high in alcohol and tannins, having great aging potential and developing beautifully in the bottle.

Label design

The European hare (Lepuse Europaeus) is a major representative of the hare species inhabiting the territory of the Skalisty Bereg winery. The hare’s body is distinctively covered with greyish fur and silky undercoat which turns almost white in the winter and having a stripe along the top of the back. Hares are active primarily during twilight and at night, during the daytime they sleep in the holes or under the sprawling shrubs. The European hare eats grass and leaves, berries, fruits and tree shoots. The European hare is a very fast and agile animal. It can leap up to 5 meters and run up to 50 km/h over short distances. These natural traits help hares to escape their predators.
