Relief

The vine plots are located at an altitude of 180 - 200 m.
The exposure is southeast and the land is terraced with a width of 8-12 meters.
Climate
The climate is temperate-continental specific to the transition from steppe to steppe forest. Winters are generally cold with sudden temperature changes determined by cold air from the N-NE area.

The soil
The soil where the plots are located is medium to heavily eroded reddish-brown loamy-viscous soil. The soil texture is characterized by a clay content of 19-25%, with good water retention and aeration of the root mass. There are also traces of calcium carbonate, with active limestone at depths of 0-60 cm, below 1%. This creates optimal conditions for high-quality wines.
