Wines made from Cabernet franc grapes of Suhindol
Discover the best wines made with Cabernet franc as a single variety or as a blend of Suhindol.
Supple, fragrant reds with fine tannins and vibrant freshness, showing raspberry, violet, green pepper, pencil lead and gentle spice aromas. Star of the Loire as a single variety (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur-Champigny) and of the right bank of Bordeaux in blends (Cheval Blanc at 60%). Also in semi-dry Anjou rosés. A historic Bordeaux variety, parent of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenère.
Historic birthplace of Bulgarian wine on the Danube plain (north-central), home to the oldest cooperative in the Balkans (Lovico, 1909), nicknamed "Bulgarian Champagne". Gamza (Kadarka) is the signature indigenous red: light and crunchy with cherry, raspberry, violet and herbaceous notes, lively acidity and soft tannins — strong regional identity. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot add structure and dark fruit. Mavrud, Syrah and Chardonnay as complements.
