Borovitsa Winery
Nestled among the Belogradchik rocks, the winery is aimed at producing small batches of wine. The grapes are grown in selected vineyards and the wines carry the region-specific freshness and minerality. Although small, the winery makes at least 25 different types of wine, as each massif has a unique character in itself. Each masterpiece reaches consumers in limited batches of 250 to 400 bottles. Due to the exceptional variety of soils and special microclimates, specific small quantities of grapes are often used to obtain interesting wines from varieties such as Rkatsiteli, Dimyat and Gamza.

This region extends from the banks of the Danube River to the slopes of the Stara Planina, encompassing the fertile Danube plain.

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.
