Black Sea region

The Black Sea coast is an area where nearly 30% of Bulgarian vineyards are concentrated. The climate, with warm summers and mild winters, is suitable for growing white varieties. Autumn is warm and prolonged, which favors the accumulation of enough sugars for the production of fine white semi-dry wines. Over 50% of the white grape varieties in Bulgaria are grown here, and the most common are Dimyat, Riesling, Chardonnay, Muscat Ottonel, Traminer, and even Sauvignon Blanc. The wines have a pleasant fruity aroma, a rich taste, and elegant freshness. The old endemic variety Dimyat, besides being suitable for dry wines, is often used for the production of dessert wines, as well as for fine aromatic distillates.

Mavrud

Mavrud is a dark-skinned grape variety of Bulgarian origin, widely planted in the Thracian valley, more precisely in the region of Asenovgrad. The grape’s name is derived from the Greek mavro, meaning black, and the wines it produces usually are of an inky colour. They also have pronounced tannins and excellent acidity, with stewed-fruit flavours on the palate with some herbal characteristics. It is no easy task to produce wine from Mavrud alone, but whoever succeeds creates a wine that certainly does not lack character.
