Variety: Blend of Melnik 55, Mavrud, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah
Alcohol: 14.5% vol.

Vinification: Aged for 42 months in Bulgarian oak barrels.
Characteristics: A gift from nature, a symbol of surprise and synchronicity. A second batch of the wine, left for another 18 months in addition to the initial 24 in oak barrels to tame the wine’s exuberant character. It is distinguished by a dense body, explosiveness of dark fruits – blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry. The fruit is wrapped in shades of dark chocolate, coffee and sweet spices. Long finish and a hint of long development with notes of leather, tobacco and sweet smokiness. A wine that, left in the collection, will continue to give joyful moments in the coming years.

About the Variety
On July 1, 2016, hailstorm hit our vineyards. It destroyed 75% of our harvest. Leaves, branches and grapes were knocked to the ground and ruined.
After the hail, the stressed vines began to compensate for the trauma. They redirected all their vital energy to the few grapes that survived, and they were saturated with dye, flavors and aromas. We harvested these grapes and made the wine Gradushka from them – unique and unrepeatable – a symbol of nature’s wrath, but also of its miracles. A symbol of what God takes, but also gives.
The result – a wine with extraordinary concentration and power!

Tasting Notes
The aromatic profile impresses with an explosion of dark fruits – blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry and blueberry. The fruit base is elegantly wrapped in layers of dark chocolate, freshly roasted coffee and sweet spices such as vanilla and cinnamon. The finish is long, noble and complex – with subtle accents of leather, tobacco and delicate smokiness.
