More about this product
Orbelia Winery
Orbelia is a family winery founded by Kostadin Chorbadjiiski and his family in 2013. It is located at the foot of Mount Belasitsa, near the village of Kolarovo, 12 km. west of Petrich. Orbelia is the ancient Thracian name of the mountain range and means white, beautiful mountain. Orbelia has its own vineyards, which grow international varieties such as Cabernet Franc and Syrah, but special attention is paid to local ones - Melnik 55, Sandanski Muscat and others. Traditional methods of vinification are used and some of the wines are aged in French, Bulgarian and American oak barrels.

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.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
