About the Variety
Keratsuda (keratsuda, keratzuda) is a rare local white variety, typical of the region of Melnik, Kresna, Simitli, Sandanski. Little known and often undeservedly neglected, Keratsuda is actually one of the favorite white varieties of the locals and makes wonderful, drinkable white wines with delicate aromas.
At Villa Melnik we grow Keratsuda in our vineyards near the village of Harsovo, Melnik and vinify it in two ways - as a classic pure varietal white wine and as part of the Orange wine blend, which we make using the old technology of fermentation of white grapes in contact with the skins.

Orange Wine
Variety: Viognier 75%, Keratsuda 25%
Current Vintage: 2022
Alcohol: 12%
Vinification:
Fermentation with the skins for two weeks, followed by resting on the fine lees for four weeks.
Characteristics:
Orange wine is made from white grapes using a special technique. The key lies in the skins of the white grapes. While white wines are usually made by separating the skins from the juice, which then ferments alone, orange wines are created by allowing the skins to macerate and ferment together with the juice. From the skins come the deeper color (yellow, ochre, orange), the distinctive flavors and aromas, and the tannins that give orange wine its signature taste. In a way, it is white wine made by the technique of red wine.
