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.
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.
