The wine region of Pazardjik
Viticultural cradle of the Upper Thracian Plain in southern Bulgaria (5,000 years of history), sheltered by the Sredna Gora mountains and the Rhodopes. Mavrud, an ancient local variety, is the signature red: deep ruby robe with intense blackberry, black cherry, plum, spices, tobacco and a balsamic-leathery touch, firm tannins and exceptional ageing potential. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Rubin (local Nebbiolo×Syrah) as structured reds. Rumelia as flagship.
The wine region of Plovdiv
Birthplace of Mavrud on the Bulgarian Thracian plain (around Asenovgrad), deep alluvial soils, hot continental climate. Mavrud the red signature (ancient indigenous variety with blue-black skin, harvested mid-October): deep and colourful with blackberry, black cherry, candied plum and liquorice touch, firm tannins and lively acidity — ages superbly in oak (leather, tobacco, spices). Dense Cabernet Sauvignon and supple Merlot as complements. Bulgaria's great identity grape.
The word of the wine: Malic (acid)
An acid that occurs naturally in many wines and is transformed into lactic acid during malolactic fermentation.
