Midalidare Dabovets Vineyard

 

Dabovets vineyard is the pride of Midalidare estate. Situated northeasterly over the smaller eastern winery, the vineyard illuminates the view with its specific red clayey soils. After a long period and application of compulsory requirements and practices, in 2018 the vineyard was officially certified for a production of organic grapes.

Dabovets is located in the area of the same name and is 15.4 hectares in size. The soils are characterized by a high content of clay with specific red color. In pedology some soils are defined as red earth, with an accentuated presence of clayey fraction. Red colour indicates variety of iron oxides. The iron oxides differ in colour and may change the shade of the soil according to their conditions. It is therefore possible to determine the degree of soil drainage with a certain approximation. Compared to typical clayey soils, red soils have excellent drainage characteristics. The color of Dabovets vineyard is red-brown and is particularly suitable for the production of wine.

At the central part of Dabovets are planted Chardonnay vines used for Midalidare’s sparkling winemaking. The three blocks are located on areas where soils are with a higher content of limestone, which is an important prerequisite for good water balance and the accumulation of sufficient acidity in the grapes.

The temperature amplitudes are great, but the altitude prevents vines from spring frosts.
