Libera Estate
Libera Estate is a new project on the wine list of Bulgaria. Libera wines were first vinified in 2013, relying mainly on local and a few international varieties. This line is maintained until the beginning of 2017, when we decided to increase our portfolio of wines, which gave rise to the emergence of a new brand. The goal before us is to show the true appearance of Bulgarian wine by combining local centuries-old traditions and the modern look of our team. Our vineyards number more than 350 decares in the land of the villages of Hotovo, Lozenitsa and Zornitsa. We are located 9 km. from Sandanski and 6 km. from Melnik in an area steeped in history and wine. The valley of the river Struma is an extremely interesting terroir, characterized by mild winters and hot summers, and the mountains that surround us are an important factor and also determine the nature of our wines.

Struma 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.
