Why We Selected This Wine
Dogma Black Sea Aged is the first Bulgarian wine to be aged at the bottom of the Black Sea. The result is, in addition to accelerating the aging process, increasing freshness, rounding, prolonging the aftertaste and harmonizing the organoleptic elements. In addition to its taste qualities, this extraordinary wine also impresses with its bottle, in which the final touches on the design are the work of the sea itself.
Vinification Philosophy
- The grapes are from the vineyards near the village of Glavan.
- After fermentation, it is aged in stainless steel for 4 months.
- Then another 6 months in the Black Sea.

Color: The colour is lemon-yellow with greenish hues.
Nose: Its aroma reveals a richness and complexity that fills the senses. At the beginning, the aroma of a blossoming tree rises, diverse and fresh, like a peach in bloom, enveloped in the embrace of the sun. And in the background, the juicy fruit unfolds, which gives additional sophistication to its essence. Later, the nuances of ripe mango appear, intertwined with the elegant freshness of sea waves.
Palate: In the mouth, this wine bursts with life and harmony, offering fresh and citrusy notes that dominate the flavours. And as it concludes its journey through the taste buds, it ends with tempting notes of toasted crust with fresh butter, which highlight the maturity and balance of this impeccable wine.
Serving: 10–12°C, decanting for 15 minutes
Pairing recommendation
A wonderful combination with soft and creamy cheeses such as goat and brie, pasta with cream sauce, truffle pates, seafood - prawns, mussels and fish.

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.
Zaara Cow's milk cheese with figs
The floral and mineral notes of the Chardonnay enhance the honeyed and fruity nuances of the figs. The acidity of the wine meets the fat of the yellow cheese and refreshes the palate. The figs bring a delicate sweetness to the taste, which adds to the density and aroma of the wine.
Bloc de Foie Gras de Canard de Rois
The freshness of the wine "cuts" the fat, and the sweetness and fruity notes harmonize with the sweetness of the pate.
