£18.00

Complex aromas of cherries, blackberries and herbs. Medium bodied with further notes of plums, dark chocolate, vanilla and blackcurrants, very well-balanced acidity and ripe tannins. 60% Mavrud and 40% Rubin, the two signature indigenous red grape varieties in Bulgaria. The Mavrud is characterised with an intense ruby red colour, good tannin and pleasant acidity, with a pleasurable blackberry and mulberry aroma. When ageing in barrels, it develops complex spicy aromas and harmonious taste. The Rubin is a cross between Syrah and the Nebbiolo developed in Bulgaria during the late 40s of the last century. The wines have intense dark red colour, blueberry and raspberry aromas and tannins that dissolve quickly during ageing.In this blend the Mavrud boasts a noticeable presence in the wine body, and the enigmatic Rubin adds a variety of aromas and mildness of taste.
