Bogdaya Estate Chardonnay 2022
An elegant and fresh interpretation of this noble variety. In an effort to express the terroir in the most authentic and good way, the grapes are processed by two different methods, separately, in stainless steel vessels. After blending them at the end of the fermentations, the result is a wine with a clean nose with notes of apple and apricot, seed and stone. Juicy body, harmonious, medium length.

Богдая Естейт
Вдъхновена от традицията за отглеждане на лозя от векове в земите в подножието на Рила, до село Смочево, е създадената през 2020 година ибза Богдая Естейт. Семейна собственост с близо 10 хектара лозя, засадени през 2017. на над 620 м надморска височина в плодородната земя на югозападните поли на Рилския масив, в полупланинското селце Смочево, сгушено в подножието на Поличките алпийски върхове. Най-величественият от тях носи името Богдая. Климатът е с ярко средиземноморско влияние, постоянен прохладен вятър и неповторим полупланински характер. Основен фокус са белите сортове грозде, придружени от величественият Пино ноар, който намира интересен и предизвикателен хабитат за развитието си в полите на Рила.

Struma Valley
The Struma Valley region covers the Southwestern part of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian part of Macedonia. The climate of the region is specific and is highly influenced by the warm currents from the Mediterranean Sea. The main grape varieties here are the local endemic Shiroka Melnishka vine, Melnik 55 (cross between Shiroka Melnishka vine and the French variety Valdigie), but also the international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and others. Due to the dryer climate and the higher temperatures, the wines develop warm southern tones in the aroma, with nuances of ripe fruit and a densely rich body. Of particular interest are the wines from Shiroka Melnik vine, partly due to the fact that the variety is difficult to grow because it ripens in late autumn. Today, the region is the most dynamically developing in Bulgaria, with many new, small, family owned wineries, increasingly focused on the quality and terroir expression of the wines they produce.

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.
