The Riesling block is located on the plateau where chilly air rolls down from the mountains, and the area is covered with fog in the early mornings. Soils are stratified, alluvial with intrusion of gneiss, pebbles and limestone.
Label design
The hoopoe is a resident of the vineyards and ravines of the Skalisty Bereg Winery. And Upupa is an onomatopoeic imitation of its distinctive song: “Oop-Oop-Oop. The hoopoe’s fluttering flight is leisurely, like that of a moth, and coloration is variegated and ornamental. Despite its beauty the hoopoe symbolizes not vanity but rather respect for elders: young birds always care for their adults, plucking out their old feathers and bringing them food. This exceptionally picturesque and exalted creature perfectly captures the expressive, vibrant, and profoundly deep essence of the Riesling.
