The wine region of Melnik
South-western Bulgaria at the foot of Mount Pirin, Mediterranean-continental climate, sandy soils and scorching summers. Shiroka Melnishka Loza is the signature red king ("broad-leaved vine", a millennial native with late ripening): dense, sunny reds with candied black cherry, ripe strawberry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, sweet spices and herbal notes, firm tannins — often compared to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Fleshy Mavrud, supple Melnik 55, firm Cabernet. Churchill's favourite (500 L/year).
The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
