UDHA WINE

Vineyard

Our vineyards are located in different villages across Northern, Central and Southern Albania. These wine regions boast altitudes ranging between 20 to 400 meters. The soil in these areas is a combination of clay, sandy and mixed soils, providing excellent drainage and moisture retention properties.

Climate conditions

The climate in the vineyard location aligns with the characteristics of a Mediterranean climate. Summers bring warmth and dryness, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C. Winters are mild, offering a period of dormancy for the vines. The region receives moderate rainfall throughout the year, providing the necessary hydration for vine cultivation.

Harvesting

Our harvesting and winemaking process is carefully executed to ensure the production of exceptional wines. The harvest takes place from 10th to 25th September when the grapes reach their optimal maturity. Our dedicated team handpicks the grapes from old vines that are gracefully climbing on trees, preserving their unique character and taste.

Winemaking:

At the winery, the grapes undergo a meticulous winemaking process. Cryo maceration is employed for 48 hours, followed by soft pressing to extract the juice gently. The juice then undergoes natural precipitation in stainless steel tanks. Cold controlled fermentation takes place over a period of 12-15 days, allowing for the development of delicate flavors.
