Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Villa Kutina Inox 2022
After more than 10 vintages with white Bulgarian oak aging, the creators of the wines decide as a debut to present “the most authentic” expression of their terroir, through this Cabernet Sauvignon without oak, which has been aged for 11 months in stainless steel. Monovarietal Cabernet Sauvignon from 56 years old own vines. The producers believe that an old vine brings wisdom and can express finesse and depth that a young one is not capable of expressing. Intense, ruby color, fresh, varietal nose of cassis and red fruits. Full body with medium length and piquant aftertaste of pepper and oriental spices. Smooth but solid tannins and refreshing acidity. Unfiltered, natural wine, without artificial additives, sulfites and allergens. Impressive, rich and multilayered bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon with excellent bottle aging potential. The production is only 1500 bottles.

More about this product
Villa Kutina
This is new, extremely small, family-owned micro winery with visionary approach and style, which made a big impression among our sommeliers. Veselin Georgiev and Lora Todorova, which are the main people behind the project, are devoted solely to these special wines, produced in very small quantities, around 1000 and sometimes even around 500-600 bottles. They practice biodynamic agriculture, never use chemicals or artificial additives, they don’t filter and fine the wines, do not even use sulfites. They let the grapes ferment spontaneously with wild yeast and for the elevage they use white Bulgarian oak. In many cases only stainless steel. They have their own vineyards and part of them are exceptionally old vines of Cabernet Sauvignon. The producers are focused on this variety and its authentic expression from the Karabunar terroir. Another unique element of their wines is the depth and the concentration. Their different Cabernets are multilayered, concentrated, with smooth, solid tannins and freshness. The wines definitely have potential for bottle aging. For us, the sommeliers, it would be very interesting to try these wines after 7, even 10 years. Our opinion is that the wines of Villa Kutina, except the scarcity factor, possess an authentic expression of one intriguing Bulgarian terroir – the Karabunar micro appellation. Also, these are bottles, which are worthed to be kept in your collection, to be able to explore their development in time. Bulgarian wines for connoisseurs!
