Vineyards
Land plots are located on the southern and northern faces of the Semisam Mountain range at elevation from 150 to 250 meters above sea level. The slope in some areas reaches up to 17 degrees. From one side it is surrounded by the sea, from the other - by relict pine, unique juniper-pistachio and hornbeam forests. The soils are mainly sod-carbonate and clay-lime stone. Humus and clay retain mineral elements, and the presence of fine gravel, chert and marl ensures proper drainage.
Label design
The Caucasian forest cat is the ancestor of all domestic cats. It inhabits hollows, crevices and abandoned dens of badgers or foxes. Each cat has its own controlled territory approximately three kilometers in length. We do not know exactly how many individuals share the Winery territory, as it is a rare Red Book species, but almost every day we meet a forest cat in the vineyards and already gave it a name - Rocheuse. This name is derived from the French “Côte rocheuse” which means “Rocky Shore”. An excellent name for our totemic cat which incidentally really enjoys eating grapes.
