About the Wine

This Mavrud has a deep purple color, lively and beautiful. Elegant and mature nose with a noble development, with hints of raspberry confit, chocolate and cinnamon. The body is juicy, smooth and rounded with ripe tannins and a noble finish.

The vineyard was created in 2006, when the family planted the first 15 ha of vines. In 2011, they bottled their first harvest – only from their own grapes. Then they planted another 15 ha of vineyards. Among the selected varieties, special attention is paid to the local Mavrud, very characteristic of the region.

Wine specs

Winemaker notes

Deep ruby color with soft undertones. Restrained nose with elegant nuances of sweet oak, leaves, spices and small strawberries. Light to medium body with soft, velvety tannins and a spicy-dry finish. Ready to drink now.

The specific terroir, the lovingly cultivated vineyards and the thousand-year-old wine traditions of the region form the basis for the distinctive character of the wines of the Mavrud variety.
