Bogdaya Estate
Вдъхновена от традицията за отглеждане на лозя от векове в земите в подножието на Рила, до село Смочево, е създадената през 2020 година ибза Богдая Естейт. Семейна собственост с близо 10 хектара лозя, засадени през 2017. на над 620 м надморска височина в плодородната земя на югозападните поли на Рилския масив, в полупланинското селце Смочево, сгушено в подножието на Поличките алпийски върхове. Най-величественият от тях носи името Богдая. Климатът е с ярко средиземноморско влияние, постоянен прохладен вятър и неповторим полупланински характер. Основен фокус са белите сортове грозде, придружени от величественият Пино ноар, който намира интересен и предизвикателен хабитат за развитието си в полите на Рила.

Struma Valley
The Struma Valley region encompasses the southwestern part of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian part of Macedonia. The climate in the region is specific and is strongly influenced by the warm currents from the Mediterranean Sea. The main grape varieties here are the local endemic variety Broad Melnik Vine, Melnik 55 (a cross between Broad Melnik Vine and the French variety Valdigie), but also the international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and others. Due to the dry climate and high temperatures, the wines develop warm southern tones in the aroma, with hints of ripe fruits and a dense rich body. Of particular interest are the wines from Broad Melnik Vine, partly due to the fact that the variety is difficult to cultivate, as it ripens in late autumn. Today, the region is the most dynamically developing in Bulgaria, with many new, small, family wineries increasingly focused on the quality and terroir expression of the wines they produce.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
