The wine region of Thracian Valley
Bulgaria's largest wine region, land of identity-driven reds.

Fleshy, deep Rubin (Nebbiolo × Syrah cross), supple, fruity Pamid, dense Melnik 55. Aromatic Red Misket whites (rose, citrus).
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
