Terroir

The relief of the region is rugged, sloping to the south. The altitude ranges from 170 to 260 m.

Climate

The climate is moderately continental. A characteristic feature of the temperature regime is the rapid warming in spring and the late cooling in autumn. A unique value here is the local air current, which prevents the cold from lingering during the winter months. The temperatures are favorable for the accumulation of sufficient sugar and acids, which give harmony and softness to the wine.

Some of the winery's most recognizable brands are Tcherga, Tcherga 10, and Menada. In 2017, the winery launched a limited edition Barrique Point, a revamped designer line of Artistique wines, and a special series created by consumers for consumers – InoVino wines.
