Why We Selected This Wine

Malbec grown in Bulgarian vineyards experiences different temperatures, soils and diurnal shifts than in Argentina or France. That gives the variety here a distinct expression and a profile of its own.

Because Malbec is less common in Bulgaria than many international staples, a well-made example like this one highlights how convincingly the grape can adapt locally, showing firmer acidity, different tannin structure and a more site-specific fruit profile.

Via Verde Motif Malbec Reserva 2022 earns its place in the Sip ’n Bite selection for the clarity with which it expresses Malbec in a Bulgarian context.

A perfect match with grilled red meats, cured salami, spicy dips, and pâtés.

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

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.

Lamb sausage

Highlights the wine’s spice notes and creates a balanced interplay of savoуry and fruit. The fat in the sausage softens the tannins in the wine and gives it a velvety feel.

Snail Truffle pâté

A good choice for a deeper, velvety finish. The citrus and floral notes in the wine contrast the earthy truffle, and the acidity "cuts" the fat in the pâté.
