Enso Sira and Malbec Siuains Spirit 2022
Art. # 4539The vineyards are located in the land of the village of Siva Reka, Svilengrad - one of the southernmost and warmest points in Bulgaria, near the border with the Republics of Turkey and Greece. The Maritsa River, the second largest river in Bulgaria after the Danube, flows in close proximity and defines the terroir of the region, as its basin brings Mediterranean influence on the climate. 10 decares of Syrah and 4 decares of Malbec are the plantings of Siuains Spirit, and the goal is to produce high-quality red wines. The soils are mainly alluvial-meadow, characterized by a thick humus horizon, accumulating mineral substances annually. Thanks to the warm air masses coming from the Aegean Sea along the Maritsa River, late spring cold snaps and frosts are rare, as well as early autumn frosts and freezes. Another feature of the terroir is the lack of rapid and extreme changes in the weather. All of this creates suitable conditions for the specific grape varieties typical of the southern parts of France - Syrah and Malbec
The color is bright, deep dark red. The aroma is distinctly fruity with a slight hint of peppery tones. The taste is dominated by red forest fruits, characteristic of both varieties. The typical pyrazine notes, characteristic of Syrah, pleasantly intertwine with those of well-ripened blue plum and skin, followed by black pepper and vanilla. The wine has a very well-integrated tannin structure and a long finish.

Thracian valley
In this region, which includes Southern Bulgaria, the climate is moderately continental, protected from the northern winds thanks to the Balkan Mountains, with a good distribution of rainfall. It includes the central parts of the Thracian Plain and parts of Sakar. Most of the red grape varieties are concentrated in this area. The varieties grown include 'Mavrud', 'Merlot', 'Cabernet Sauvignon', 'Red Muscat', 'Pamid', and others. The climatic conditions of the region favor the production of rich, dense, memorable red wines from the varieties 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Mavrud'. Good wines from the local variety 'Mavrud' are particularly valued because they combine the aroma and taste of red berries, spices, and herbs.

Syrah
Syrah/Shiraz - Two names of one and the same grape variety - the winemakers from the Old world use Syrah and the ones from the New world - Shiraz. The grape is a deep red, even the pulp, therefore this variety is not suitable for blanc de noir wine style. Syrah wine has specific floral aromas in its youth and develops notes of herbs and spices such as white and black pepper as it ages. These varietal specifics come out better when blended with a small amount of Viognier - a method gaining popularity more and more around the world. Syrah produces wines capable of ageing and improving over decades, which enhances its plummy and almost oriental spicy flavours.
