Tasting Notes
■ Appearance: Deep ruby red with dark, brilliant purple edges.
■ Aroma: Rich and captivating aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, and violet, accented by notes of black pepper, roasted coffee, and a hint of smoke.
■ Palate: A full-bodied wine with a solid structure, beautifully balancing power and elegance. Jammy, concentrated dark fruit flavors and smooth, ripe tannins fill the mouth, leading to a long and satisfying finish with spices and pure minerality.
Syrah is a noble black grape varietal cherished worldwide, characterized by its powerful, spicy black pepper notes and deep, dark berry flavors.
The Story
Meticulous Winemaking Process
To ensure ultimate quality control, only organic grapes from strictly managed single vineyards are used. After hand-harvesting, traditional fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (INOX) to preserve pure fruit flavors and vivid spice notes, without masking the grapes' character with strong oak aromas.
Zagreyus stands at the forefront of the natural and organic wine movement in Bulgaria, proving that meticulous vineyard work with minimal intervention can produce world-class wines. (Highly rated in European wine guides as an authentic wine expressing terroir)
Food Pairing
This structured, spicy, and smooth red wine is a delight for meat lovers. It pairs exceptionally well with rich and spiced dishes. Recommended perfect matches for this wine:
- ■ Charcoal-grilled beef steak – The wine's firm tannins and smoky black pepper aroma act as a "natural spice" for a perfectly grilled, high-quality steak.
- ■ Herb-roasted lamb – The rich dark fruit and violet aromas beautifully complement the characteristic gaminess and earthy herb notes of lamb.
- ■ Aged hard cheeses (such as Pecorino or Cheddar) – The wine's powerful structure firmly embraces the rich, salty umami of aged cheeses, creating a melting harmony in the mouth.
Serving Temperature: 16℃〜18℃ (Enjoy its true richness at this temperature range)
Vineyard & Terroir
Plovdiv Region (Thracian Lowlands)
The Thracian Valley is blessed with a mild continental climate, abundant sunshine, and ideal rainfall. Thanks to the excellent location of this single vineyard, Syrah achieves perfect phenolic ripeness (seed and skin ripeness) while retaining fresh and vibrant acidity, resulting in deep concentration.
"When I taste a Syrah this pure, it reaffirms why we strongly recommend Bulgarian wines. While possessing the power of black pepper and dark fruits typical of Syrah, its rigorous organic cultivation in a single vineyard gives it an unparalleled freshness, rare for such a robust red wine. It's a truly perfect match for meat dishes!"
— Deyan / Owner
