More about this product
Via Venera
The winery began its journey in 2007 in the area of Sharovitsa near the village of Karabunar - an area where vineyards and wine have been part of people's lives since time immemorial. In 2017, the wine production unit was separated from the distillery and renamed Via Vinera. The change is a consequence of the owners' desire to continue the traditions in the region, giving them a modern sound, as well as to build their own identity. The production includes the "Via Vinera" series, as well as the already known on the market "Bulgarian Heritage", "Contour" and "Castellum".

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.
