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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
