Syrah Single Barrel Bratanov Seewines Selection 2020
A wine revealing the wonderful characteristics of this variety in its pure form. Balanced to perfection with traditional aromas of black berries, pepper and earthy nuances. This limited edition of 520 bottles is a real find and we at Seawines are delighted to be able to offer you every bottle of it. Fermentation is entirely with 'wild yeast' - the natural microflora from the vineyard. This terroir-based approach, combined with the extended pre- and post-fermentation ageing, adds more complexity, distinct character and good structure to this wine and gives it excellent ageing potential. The barrel firing is medium, personally carried out by Maria Stoeva, in order to obtain the desired organoleptic profile of the wine and achieve even greater softness and balance. This terroir-based approach, combined with the prolonged ageing before and after fermentation, contributes to more complexity, expressive character and good structure to this wine and gives it excellent ageing potential.

More about this product
Bratanov Winery
The Bratanov family cellar is located near the village of Shishmanovo, South Sakar. In the period 2006-2008, they planted 24 hectares of their own vineyards with the classic varieties Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, as well as with the local Rubin and Tamianka, in order to restore the hereditary viticulture tradition after a 50-year break. The terrain is located on sunny hills, and the nearby river Maritsa and the winds penetrating along it from the Aegean Sea form an almost Mediterranean climate. The winery has an experimental spirit, uses different methods of winemaking and is not afraid to use spontaneous, "wild" fermentation. Since 2015, the chief oenologist in the winery is a young oenologist Maria Stoeva, who graduated in Dijon, France, who together with the owners focuses on wines that best reflect the characteristics of the terroir and have a strong personality.

Thracian valley
In this region, which includes Southern Bulgaria, the climate is temperate continental protected from northern winds thanks to Stara Planina, with good rain distribution. It includes the central parts of the Thracian lowland and parts of Sakar. Most of the red grape varieties are concentrated in this area. Mavrud, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Muscat, Pamid and others are grown. The climatic conditions of the region favour the production of rich, dense, memorable red wines, especially from the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Mavrud. Good wines from the local variety Mavrud are especially valued for their aroma and taste of small red fruits, spices and herbs.

Syrah
Syrah/Shiraz - Two names of one and the same grape variety - the winemakers from the Old world use Syrah and the ones from the New world - Shiraz. The grape is a deep red, even the pulp, therefore this variety is not suitable for blanc de noir wine style. Syrah wine has specific floral aromas in its youth and develops notes of herbs and spices such as white and black pepper as it ages. These varietal specifics come out better when blended with a small amount of Viognier - a method gaining popularity more and more around the world. Syrah produces wines capable of ageing and improving over decades, which enhances its plummy and almost oriental spicy flavours.
