Mavrud, with its dark, thick-skinned grapes, lends an inky colour and pronounced tannins, while Merlot adds softness and roundness to the blend. Together, they create a wine of remarkable depth and complexity. The wine reveals a balanced array of ripe blackberries and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of toasty smokiness. The palate is big and juicy, showcasing abundant tannins that are well-integrated and balanced. Black fruit flavours dominate, accented by nuances of smoke and bitter chocolate, making this a powerful yet harmonious wine. Crafted with meticulous care, this wine benefits from the unique terroir of the Thracian Valley, where a moderate continental climate and diverse soils provide an ideal environment for producing age-worthy reds. The result is a wine with richness, density, and an unmistakable sense of place. Decant before serving.
