Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Villa Kutina old bulgarian oak 2022
This is monovarietal Cabernet Sauvignon from 56 years old vines, the oldest from the family-owned vineyards. Reserva 2022 Barrique is a tiny quantity of only 930 bottles. The wine has been aged 11 months in 100 litres barriques from old white Bulgarian oak. On the back label of each bottle you can see its number and from which barrel it comes. Natural Cabernet Sauvignon without artificial additives, sulfites and allergens, fermented spontaneously with wild yeast. Multilayered, concentrated, rich and aromatic, authentic Bulgarian Cabernet. Pure expression of the Karabunar micro terroir. The opinion of our sommeliers is that this wine will age gracefully in a bottle and will become even more interesting in time. A bottle which is worthed to be kept for years, but which would create a special moment and emotion now as well.

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!
