Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish. Star of Condrieu AOC and Château-Grillet AOC, co-vinified in Côte-Rôtie with Syrah (up to 20%). Widely exported to California (Central Coast), Australia (Eden Valley) and Languedoc. A Rhône variety.
Warmest valley in south-western Bulgaria with sub-Mediterranean climate, vineyards around Melnik (cultivated for 8,000 years). Shiroka Melnishka Loza signature red (Churchill's favourite, broad-leafed indigenous variety): structured and spiced with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, tobacco, leather, Mediterranean herbs and a peppery touch, firm tannins — remarkable ageing. More accessible Melnik 55 and Ranna Melnishka. Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah complement.
