Gold Medal for Villa Melnik at Mundus Vini Spring Tasting

We are kicking off the month of March with extraordinary news that fills us with pride and inspiration! Our flagship wine from the Rare Varieties series: Melnik 1300 Jubilee, has been awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious Mundus Vini International Wine Academy’s Spring Tasting in Germany.

For the second consecutive year, the international jury in Neustadt has recognized the incredible potential of our unique Melnik varieties. Following last year’s Gold success with our Rare Varieties Shiroka Melnik BushVine, the torch is now carried by the Melnik 1300. This is definitive proof that our region and its indigenous grapes not only preserve history but also firmly hold their place among the global wine elite.

This medal marks another milestone in our mission to revive and promote rare Bulgarian grape varieties. When international experts highly praise wines made from local grapes, it is a victory not just for our winery, but for the entire Bulgarian wine sector.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the entire Villa Melnik team for their tireless work in the vineyards and the cellar. Most importantly, we thank you—our friends and customers—for your continued support and your love for authentic Melnik wine.

Treat yourself to a sip of our “golden essence.” You can order the award-winning Rare Varieties Melnik 1300 directly from our online store [HERE].
