The Sokol variety is set apart by its very early ripening, already in the first period, and in the spring it starts its annual growth cycle very early, as well.
The canopy is of medium to strong lushness, which makes it possible to grow this variety on pergolas. It thrives best on elevated vine-training systems and with ‘long’ pruning. It is not susceptible to fungal diseases. A problem with irregular and low yield was noticed. Sokol produces wines of high quality, special varietal aromas of medium or stronger intensity, depending on the harvest date.
