The Skale Vineyard
The south-oriented Skale vineyard is one of the oldest sites in the village of Vrbice. The vineyard, with an area of less than 1 hectare is located on clay and gravel soil with an extremely high magnesium content. The vineyard is of the traditional type with a supporting wooden post for each grapevine.
The grapes are close to the ground; the soil, with good heat accumulation capacity facilitates the ripening process. Manual cultivation with minimum machinery is a must in this site. The grapevines are pruned to 8 productive buds; hence the yield is very low. The flagship of our winemaking business – Cuvée SKALE – comes from this exceptional location.
Varieties cultivated: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
