In October, we celebrate International Mavrud Day and our local indigenous varieties. Villa Melnik is one of the few producers cultivating Mavrud in the Melnik region. As a late-ripening variety – much like the Broad-Leaved Melnik Vine – Mavrud finds its perfect home here.
The unique advantage of growing Mavrud in the Melnik region is our long, warm summer and mild autumn, which allow the grapes to reach full phenolic maturity. This results in high sugar concentration and perfectly ripe, silky tannins. At Villa Melnik, Mavrud produces wines that are full-bodied and velvety, with wonderful fruit aromas. We find it creates a magnificent harmony when blended with our signature Broad-Leaved Melnik Vine.
