It is distinguished by a dense body, explosiveness of dark fruits – blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry. The fruit is wrapped in shades of dark chocolate, coffee and sweet spices.

About the Variety
On July 1, 2016, hailstorm hit our vineyards. It destroyed 75% of our harvest. Leaves, branches and grapes were knocked to the ground and ruined.
After the hail, the stressed vines began to compensate for the trauma. They redirected all their vital energy to the few grapes that survived, and they were saturated with dye, flavors and aromas. We harvested these grapes and made the wine Gradushka from them – unique and unrepeatable – a symbol of nature’s wrath, but also of its miracles. A symbol of what God takes, but also gives.
The result – a wine with extraordinary concentration and power!

Tasting Notes
The aromatic profile impresses with an explosion of dark fruits – blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry and blueberry. The fruit base is elegantly wrapped in layers of dark chocolate, freshly roasted coffee and sweet spices such as vanilla and cinnamon. The finish is long, noble and complex – with subtle accents of leather, tobacco and delicate smokiness.

Orange Wine
Variety: Viognier 75%, Keratsuda 25%
Current Vintage: 2022
Alcohol: 12%
Vinification:
Fermentation with the skins for two weeks, followed by resting on the fine lees for four weeks.
Characteristics:
Orange wine is made from white grapes using a special technique. The key lies in the skins of the white grapes. While white wines are usually made by separating the skins from the juice, which then ferments alone, orange wines are created by allowing the skins to macerate and ferment together with the juice. From the skins come the deeper color (yellow, ochre, orange), the distinctive flavors and aromas, and the tannins that give orange wine its signature taste. In a way, it is white wine made by the technique of red wine.
