6IX Chardonnay Barrel Fermented Chateau Copsa 2020
The wine has a pronounced straw yellow colour with golden hues. Attractive nose with enticing notes of ripe exotic fruit and light nuances of hazelnut and toasted bread, the result of the wine's contact with new French and American oak. A wine of well-balanced freshness and medium body.

Copsa
Chateau Kopsa is located in the heart of the Rose Valley in the lands of the Thracians and bears the ancient name of Karlovo. Chateau Copsa is one of the few family wineries where the whole process is undertaken - from the grapes to the bottle. Thus, the producers personally monitor every moment of the wine's development and make sure that it lives and reveals even more interesting and deep notes of its character, even enclosed in glass. Chateau Kopsa's own vineyards are 50 hectares - in one of the unique terroirs of Bulgaria - tucked between the southern slope of Stara Planina and Sredna Gora, among aromas of rose groves and lavender fields. The place is extremely favorable for the cultivation of high quality white varieties - the emblematic local variety is Red Muscat, but Muscat Otonel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, as well as red - Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are also grown.

Thracian valley
In this region, which includes Southern Bulgaria, the climate is temperate continental protected from northern winds thanks to Stara Planina, with good rain distribution. It includes the central parts of the Thracian lowland and parts of Sakar. Most of the red grape varieties are concentrated in this area. Mavrud, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Muscat, Pamid and others are grown. The climatic conditions of the region favour the production of rich, dense, memorable red wines, especially from the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Mavrud. Good wines from the local variety Mavrud are especially valued for their aroma and taste of small red fruits, spices and herbs.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
