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: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
