How do I know this bottle was properly stored?

Wine is and remains a natural product. Although Bulgarian Wine House as a wine importer strives for quality wines and consistent quality, this cannot always be guaranteed. Certainly not in the case of the climate change that is omnipresent. This certainly affects all wines. Bulgarian Wine House’s owner therefore try to have tasted every harvest year in advance. This prevents surprises.

The owner: “I try to go in every wine cellar to pick up chosen wines, allowing me to have firsthand knowledge of storage conditions.
