STONY VINEYARDS


Stony vineyards are unique for the fact that a stone desert was turned in to the field with the most quality agricultural products. These vineyards were founded in the early 1980’s in southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, area where the sun ruthlessly heats six months a year, and where common landscape is karst. Instead of tractors, powerful machines, rippers and bulldozers were used to prepare substrate with negligible amount of soil for planting grapes. The complete area of 100 ha was planted with the most famous autochthon variety of white wine, Zilavka. Only variety that was born in such hot climate and soil of so specific characteristics could get such a good result in those hard conditions. The grapes from this location, characterized by high degree of sugar, are elaborated with controlled fermentation and as a result it gives us unique high quality dry wine, named Stone wine.

  2. Hi,
    You've chosen quite an interesting subject to write your blog about. You made very good use of the keyword "unique" to make potential readers curious about the rest of your blog post.
    Grammatically speaking you seem to have forgotten a few articles such as "Only variety that was..." instead of "Only a variety that was...".
    Personally I would try to think of synonyms for karst and autochthon (e.g. indigenous) as I find they break the flow of your otherwise well written blog post.
    Apart from these minor details I think it's written very well and I believe Olaf will agree with me.

    Kind regards,
    Dries Persyn
