What a wonderful idea - the whole family in a bottle! Rubin is the result of the "marriage" between Syrah and Nebbiolo. This wine has the potential to unveil the delicate synergy between the three grapes.

Wine Hippies

Wine Hippies

The people behind the Wine Hippies project are those of Dimitar Nikolov and Atanas Balev. Both are known in the Bulgarian winery and enjoy an enviable experience with years of experience in this field. Dimitar Nikolov is a professional sommelier and together with his wife Donka manager and project Apollowine, where he first created his own series of wines in 2017 (blend with Shiroka Melnishka Loza, vintage 2017, announced in Villa Melnik and Chardonnay Barrel fermented 2015 together with winery Zelenas, which he consults). Atanas Balev is a restaurateur who created a real sensation in the last four years as manager of the Cosmos restaurant in Sofia. Here he successfully experimented with his own series of wines, exclusively for Cosmos restaurant, which can still be found in the wine list. What the two have in common is the belief that some Bulgarian wineries are doing extremely well with some of their varieties, because they have the most suitable terroirs for them. So they decided to make a selection of individual terroirs, which are emblematic of certain cellars and varieties that correspond to the idea of a presentation of unusual wines. And so through the Wine Hippies project, Dimitar and Atanas tell the story of themselves as rebels and non-standard wine thinkers.

Thracian valley

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

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.
