Terroir

In Ai-Danil, the soil-forming rock is ancient landslide accumulations of Middle Quaternary and Upper Quaternary age and modern proluvial-deluvial deposits of slopes. These soils were formed mainly on clay shales, less often on lime scree, landslides. The soils of Ai-Danil are automorphic, underground watercourses lie at a depth of 2-11 m. Within Ai-Danil, in a dry subtropical climate under sub-Mediterranean dry forests and shrub thickets, brown-type soils characteristic of the entire South Coast of the Crimea have formed on the limestone mother rock. Grapes on them mature better, sugar accumulates more easily in berries.
