Rondo Winemakers’ selection Medi Valley 2022
Rondo is a red grape variety used to make red and pink wines. It was created in 1964 by Professor Willem Kraus in what was then Czechoslovakia by crossing the varieties Northern Zarya and Saint Laurent. Further development of the variety was carried out at the Geisenheim Institute by Dr Helmut Becker. Beautiful, deep, deep red colour. Aromas of black berries, blackberry and violets are complemented by tones of chocolate, coffee and spice. The taste is fruity and caressing. The wine is delicate but rich, tight and with a long aftertaste.

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.

По нататъшното развитие на сорта се осъществява в института Гайзенхайм от д-р Хелмут Бекер. В по-голям мащаб, сортът е засаден през 80-те години на XX век в Ирландия. Официално името Рондо, сортът получава едва през 1997 г. Рондо е ранозреещ сорт, с висока устойчивост против измръзване и болести.

При правилна работа в лозето и последваща такава в избата, сортът дава тъмно обагрени, ароматни и сочни червени вина, които имат потенциал за отлежаване в бутилка.
