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.
