Lower Silesia

Wine has been part of Lower Silesia since the thirteenth century. In the nineteenth century, the Jelenia Góra Valley of Castles was reported to have about 700 hectares available for winegrowing. The Trzebnica Hills form a distinct growing area in the north. Producers work with a range of grapes. Winnica Silesian grows Solaris and red Riesling on granite-rich soil. Winnica 55-100 focuses on Muscaris, Solaris and Regent, while Adoria grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Jadwiga hand-harvests its grapes and makes wines with minimal chemical use, including naturally sparkling Pet Nat.
