More about this product
Via Verde
Via Verde from the Latin "green road" began as a family project in late 2013. with the search for the best place to start a vineyard. They found their first vineyard in the village of Levunovo with 80 decares, which enjoys a wonderful terroir, and the property grows to 200 decares on the sunny hills near the town of Sandanski. The vines are young 8-13 years old from classic varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Muscat Otonel, as well as the emblematic for the region Sandanski Muscat, Early Melnik vine and Keratsuda. The wines of Via Verde can be recognized by three features - elegance, harmony and intriguing character. An important step in the development of Via Verde is ahead with the construction of its own wine cellar near the vineyards.
All wines of the same producerStruma 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.

A lesser known fact of Malbec is that it is a native to southwestern France, but now better known as the iconic wine grape of Argentina, its second homeland. Broadly speaking, French Malbec tends to be more meaty, rustic and tannic, while examples from Argentina seem to be uniformly rich, ripe, jammy and juicy. On both sides of the Atlantic, Malbec wines are generally aged in oak to enhance the wine's structure and aging potential.
