Wine specs

Winemaker notes

The ancient Bulgarian variety Mavrud is especially special to the enologists of the Monastery, who have been creating remarkable wines from their own vineyard for years.

The color of the wine – dense, ruby with violet hues, is only a prelude to the multi-layered aroma with predominant accents of red pepper, vine leaf, blackberries and small black fruits. Powerful, well-structured body with fine tannins and a fruity-spicy finish. The wine has good aging potential.
