Graduate Engineer in Agriculture. Following and studing world trends with implementation of own ideas. Interested in production of high-quality grapes, agrochemistry and plant physiology. Leader and diplomat. Dedicated to personal and professional improvement. Born in 1981 in Serbia, graduated from Faculty of Agriculture, I have started my viticulturist career in 2009 in one of the leading wineries in Serbia - Winery Aleksandrovic, as a head of the vineyard service. Responsible for establishing, organising and leading vineyard servise and planting over the 60 ha of new vineyards, modified some methods of work and introduced new ones, adapting them particularly for every variety and location, for every vineyard separately. 2015. moved to Anapa, Russia, joining a new wine business company OOO "Shumrinka", aiming to renew viticulture in Anapa region, and introduce production of high quality grapes and wine. Main goal in grape production is to get high quality grapes, as a raw material for premium wines. So, the strategy is determined even before the planting of vineyard - lower yield for higher quality. Every ampelo technical and agrotechnical operation is applied in that direction, with constant experimenting on small samples, searching for even better solutions. Grape grower collaborates with nature, but also very often struggle against it. Beside his theoretical and practical knowledge, he must include his 6th sense, feelings and foresight in development of strategy management or fast instant reactions, especially in strange climate conditions as we are all witnesses.
