Discovering the wine region of Melnik
South-western Bulgaria at the foot of Mount Pirin, Mediterranean-continental climate, sandy soils and scorching summers. Shiroka Melnishka Loza is the signature red king ("broad-leaved vine", a millennial native with late ripening): dense, sunny reds with candied black cherry, ripe strawberry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, sweet spices and herbal notes, firm tannins — often compared to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Fleshy Mavrud, supple Melnik 55, firm Cabernet. Churchill's favourite (500 L/year).
