Thracian Lowlands is a wine region in the South of Bulgaria. It one of two PGI designations for Bulgarian wine recognized for export into the EU. The other is Danubian Plains.
Both were introduced in 2007 as Part of Bulgaria's preparations for joining the EU.
Together they are responsible for around 30 percent of the country's wine production.
There are also 52 smaller PDOs (the equivalent of an AOP in France) but only a few of them are used for any great volumes. However a considerable number of traditional (dating back before 2007) geographic terms are still used by wineries.
Red wine grapes are to the fore in the western part of the appellation.
Leading varieties include the Bordeaux varieties, Ruby Cabernet, Mavrud and Pamid. Mavrud is very much an indigenous flagship variety for the area. Wine Centers in the west include Asenovgrad, Brezovo and Perushtitsa.
The zone is very large, and so general comments regarding wine styles and growing conditions are very Hard to make.
