Bulgarian wines
We bring you the best of Bulgarian winemaking. If we look at a map of today’s Bulgaria, we will see that it is one of the areas with very suitable conditions for growing grapes – a stable warm climate and a large number of days with sunshine, the leeward slopes of many mountains, sheltered from unfavourable winds and, on the contrary, the warm subtropical air from the Black and Aegean Seas, which warms the soil and creates a favourable microclimate in many parts of the country, especially the southern and south-eastern ones. It is therefore not surprising that the tradition of growing grapes dates back to antiquity, specifically to the Thracians, the predecessors of the Bulgarians. And it was in Thrace, today’s southern Bulgaria, that the cult of the god Dionysus was born, as the Thracians were accustomed to using wine even during religious ceremonies. The Thracians were not only skilled wine producers, but also wine exporters, supplying neighbouring Greeks with wine. Unlike them, they were also accustomed to consuming it undiluted, without the addition of water, which the Greeks preferred. One of the prized varieties from that time has survived to this day – the famous mavrud, which is considered a jewel among the red wines of Bulgaria. This ancient Thracian variety is appreciated for its full flavour, deep red colour and tobacco aroma. We offer several mavrudas from the Thracian Plain region in southeastern Bulgaria.
Bulgaria itself is divided into five main wine regions – the Thracian Plain, the Rose Valley, the Struma Valley, the Black Sea Coast, the Danube. While the first four are mainly focused on red wines, white varieties are widely grown in the Danube region. In our offer you will find mainly red wines from the Thracian lowlands – sub-regions of Sakar, Eastern Rhodopes and also the fertile lowlands of the Maritza river basin. White wines, on the other hand, are from the area around the Rusenski Lom River, a tributary of the Danube in northern Bulgaria. We hope you will enjoy the wines we offer – they are very tasty wines that deserve respect on a global scale and are often awarded at various wine symposiums.
