Libera Estate

Libera Estate

Libera Estate is a new project on the wine list of Bulgaria. Libera wines were first vinified in 2013, relying mainly on local and a few international varieties. This line is maintained until the beginning of 2017, when we decided to increase our portfolio of wines, which gave rise to the emergence of a new brand. The goal before us is to show the true appearance of Bulgarian wine by combining local centuries-old traditions and the modern look of our team. Our vineyards number more than 350 decares in the land of the villages of Hotovo, Lozenitsa and Zornitsa. We are located 9 km. from Sandanski and 6 km. from Melnik in an area steeped in history and wine. The valley of the river Struma is an extremely interesting terroir, characterized by mild winters and hot summers, and the mountains that surround us are an important factor and also determine the nature of our wines.

Struma Valley

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.
