Ivo Varbanov
There is a lot to be said about Ivo Varbanov and there will still be little. It is a phenomenon - both on the world music scene and on the wine scene. In 2003 he started looking for plots with the help of Professor Marin Petkov, then 70 years old, who was the man who drew the wine list of Bulgaria in the 60s. South Sakar is the wine region that wins the interest of Ivo Varbanov. The project is a great challenge and a dream based on the belief in biodynamic and organic farming. The aim is for the wines to be positioned on a par with the wines of the best regions in the world and they seem to have taken the path to success. Many winique moments with the wines and music of Ivo Varbanov are waiting for you.

Viognier
Viognier is a white grape variety used to produce rich wines with pronounced aromas of stone fruit, but can also be very herbal, with aromas of chamomile, lavender, thyme and even a hint of pine. At the end of the 1960s, the Viognier plantations numbered only 14 hectares - mainly located around Condrieu and Château-Grillet. The variety is difficult to grow, has a naturally low acidity. At the same time, it requires a lot of sunshine to ripen properly, but if there is too much heat, it accumulates sugars quickly and due to the high alcohol content, the final wine loses the apricot tones in its aromatic profile. Despite these difficulties in cultivation, after the late 70s of last century, various winemakers around the world began to experiment with it - mailny in Australia and the United States. Today, Viognier is enjoying a remarkable renaissance, with even increasing areas in France, and is also grown in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and even Japan. The variety performs quite well when fermented in oak barrels, in which case the herbal aromas are softened and shades of honey and vanilla are added to them. Interestingly, Vionnier is allowed and used in the Côte-Rôtie appellation for co-fermentation with Syrah. The allowed addition is up to 20% and actually it contributes significantly to improving the profile of the final wine.
