Vineyard & Terroir
Region: Bulgaria, Thracian Valley (PGI Thracian Lowlands)
The Thracian Valley has a temperate continental climate characterized by warm, long summers, ideal for ripening late-maturing varieties like Mavrud. The diverse soils and excellent sun exposure in this historic region allow the grapes to develop deep color, high natural sugar, and complex aromatic compounds.
"Mavrud is the ancient, pulsating heart of Bulgarian wine, and this top cuvée captures it brilliantly. With incredible depth and spice, yet astonishing elegance, it's a magnificent bottle that showcases the overwhelming quality Eastern European red wines can achieve."
