Discover the best wines made with Caladoc as a single variety or as a blend of Thrace.
Deeply coloured, structured reds with a dense purple robe, smooth tannins and a round palate, with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, garrigue, spice and balsamic notes. Good short-to-medium ageing. Vinified in blends and as single varietal in IGP Pays d'Oc and Méditerranée (Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence), also adopted in Morocco, Tunisia, Israel and Spain. A Grenache × Malbec cross created in 1958 by Paul Truel in Montpellier (INRA).
Ancestral region shared between Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, one of the cradles of wine (cult of Dionysus), Mediterranean (Trakya/Greek) and continental (Bulgarian) sides, calcareous soils and gravelly loams. Mavrud is the signature Bulgarian indigenous red: dense and spiced with blackberry, plum, leather, tobacco and balsamic notes, firm tannins. Noble Xinomavro, Papaskarasi, Cabernet and Syrah as reds. Full Chardonnay, floral Muscat, Roditis and aromatic Malagousia as whites.
