Why We Selected This Wine
Wine from an exceptional vintage for Bulgaria and Europe - 2015. The development of the same wine in a 750 ml bottle and a 1.5 l magnum is completely different and has a unique character. Filling magnum bottles is rare and does not happen every vintage. Therefore, this bottle is of valuable collector's value or suitable for celebrating a special occasion.
Vinification Philosophy
- The grapes are from vineyards near the village of Kolarovo near the town of Harmanli
- The wine is aged for 24 months in 225 l French oak barrels
- Then it remains in the bottle for over 12 months before being released to the market.

Pairings from Sip ’n Bite
Curated gourmet pairings that highlight the wine's profile and structure — available for takeaway and tasting at Sip ’n Bite
Snail's and porcini mushroom Pâté
The earthy and umami flavoуrs of the porcini mushrooms and snails are complemented by the complex, slightly earthy and fruity characteristics of the wine, and the creaminess of the pâté softens the tannins.
Green cheese
An intense and salty accent that sits well with the fruity and structured red profile and makes the tannins feel soft and velvety. The acidity in the wine refreshes and balances the fats.
Elena Dry Aged Pork Leg
The bite highlights the peppery and earthy character of the wine and brings a good balance between saltiness and fruitiness. The fat in the meat softens the tannins in the wine and gives it a velvety feel.
