More about this product
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.

Rose Valley
The name of the region suggests the main common plants here - indeed it is best known for growing roses and producing rose oil. It is located at the foot of Stara Planina and stretches between it and Sredna Gora, including the Sungurlar Valley, which became famous in Europe before the WWII with its white wine from the local Sungurlare misket grape variety. This variety is actually spread throughout the valley - its full name is Red Misket and it is actually made into a white dry wine, which is characterised by a rich fruity aroma, elegant body and a delicate, memorable aftertaste. It is considered to be an old local variety, cultivated nowadays mainly in the Sungurlare Valley, and the Karlovo and Brezovo districts. In addition to this variety, there are plantations of Riesling, Rkatsiteli, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which also produce wines with a pleasant fruity aroma, fresh and harmonious taste.

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.
