Discovering the wine region of Thracian Valley

Thracian Lowlands is a wine region in the South of Bulgaria. It one of two PGI designations for Bulgarian wine recognized for export into the EU. The other is Danubian Plains. Both were introduced in 2007 as Part of Bulgaria's preparations for joining the EU.

Together they are responsible for around 30 percent of the country's wine production. There are also 52 smaller PDOs (the equivalent of an AOP in France) but only a few of them are used for any great volumes. However a considerable number of traditional (dating back before 2007) geographic terms are still used by wineries. Red wine grapes are to the fore in the western part of the appellation.

Leading varieties include the Bordeaux varieties, Ruby Cabernet, Mavrud and Pamid. Mavrud is very much an indigenous flagship variety for the area. Wine Centers in the west include Asenovgrad, Brezovo and Perushtitsa. The zone is very large, and so general comments regarding wine styles and growing conditions are very Hard to make.

Discover the grape variety: Muscat Ottonel

Muscat Ottonel has the character of a grape variety with a distant lineage. It was first obtained in 1839 and continues to be planted in nearly 2,000 hectares of vineyards around the world. It shows good vigour and promises satisfactory production, of the order of 6 kilos per vine. The bunches, which are rather loose, are quite large, bearing berries with a strong character. A pleasantly musky flavour and a lot of juice characterize the pulp, protected by a medium skin. The bluish-black skin contributes to the exceptional beauty of the vineyards at harvest time. The size of the ellipsoidal berries is another argument in favor of Muscat Ottonel, which is also known as Muscat Ottone or Muscadet Ottonel. Resin, toast, honey and wild flowers are all present in the wines made from this variety. If the foliage, which turns yellow in autumn, is one of its charms, remember to protect the fruit from grey rot and coulure.
