Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
Sungurlare valley south of the Bulgarian Balkans (~80 km from Burgas), presumed cradle of Misket Cherven (Bulgarian red Muscat). Signature Misket Cherven as white king: aromatic and floral with notes of fresh grape, rose, citrus, peach, apricot and muscat touch — dry, semi-dry or as opulent sweet wines (raisin, honey, candied peel), historical specialty of the Balkan foothills. Also grape distillates. Tradition of renowned dessert wines and esteemed eaux-de-vie.
