Why We Selected This Wine
Wine from the micro-producer Monteremi (Na Bair Loze), located in the village of Elhovo near Stara Zagora. The wines are in limited batches, following biodynamic and natural practices. Therefore, each bottle and vintage carries its own unique character and terroir imprint.
Vinification Philosophy
- A blend of 70% Pinot noir (branch WM70, grown in the Danube Plain), and 30% organic Merlot from old vineyards in the Chirpan Hills.
- Spontaneous fermentation, for both varieties separately, for 15-20 days.
- The high maturity of the Pinot resulted in a wine with higher alcohol where the Merlot added
- body and structure.
- Aged for 14 months in American oak.

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.
