At wine tasting were introduced 6 types of Bulgarian wine. Two of which are white, the rest are red. It’s said, that the Bulgarian red wine is better than white. As you know, every man to his own taste..
A rather unusual Orange wine made from white grapes. It’s a “skin-contact wine” opens you up to a world of colours, flavors and screams spring in every way.
For lovers of dry red wine an ancient grape variety Mavrud from Southern Bulgaria. Mavrud wine have deep ruby color and delicate blackberry, raspberry, sweet cherry taste.
