Agroecological conditions and production technology have the greatest impact on the composition of wine, sensory characteristics, and consumer attitudes. The analysis of the connection between these factors is the basis for the recommendation of a certain variety (clone) in a production region. In this study, three French clones of cv. Riesling: 48, 1089, and 1091 were analyzed for the first time in Ukrina vine-growing region (the northwestern part of the Republic of Srpska - Bosnia and Herzegovina). The research was conducted during the 2016-2017 period in the vineyard of a private winery, by determining its production potential and technological characteristics. The basic elements of fertility and mechanical characteristics of grapes and berries were analyzed. In years with very variable climatic conditions, the examined clones had a satisfactory mass of grapes (85.7-131.8 g), a high share of berries in the structure of the cluster (94.70-96.00%) and a slightly lower yield (5.4-7.5 t·ha-1). Tested clones deserve attention for further examination of their characteristics (wine quality) with regard to product characteristics and the possibility of their cultivation in the examined area.
