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.

Variety: Melnik 55, Mavrud, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah
Current Vintage: 2016
Alcohol:14.5 %
Vinification: Aged for 42 months in Bulgarian oak barrels.
Characteristics:
A gift of nature, a symbol of surprise and synchronicity. A second batch of the wine, left for an additional 18 months on top of the initial 24 in oak barrels to tame its fiery character. It stands out with a full body, explosive dark fruit – blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry. The fruit is wrapped in nuances of dark chocolate, coffee, and sweet spices. Long finish with hints of further development – leather, tobacco, and a sweet smokiness. A wine that, left in a collection, will continue to bring joy for years to come.
