Field8 Mavrud & Thracian Glory 2021
Field8 is a blend between Mavrud and Thracian Glory. The two varieties are harvested separately, fermented separately in stainless steel vessels.
The interesting thing about it is that Thracian Glory is left on wooden grates to dry to a certain extent before fermentation. A similar process is used as in the production of sweet wines via the appassimento method.
Once dried to the desired degree, the sugars in the grapes concentrate and the flavours become richer.
After the two wines ferment separately, they are blended and aged together in old French oak barrels. The ageing itself takes place over a period of about 7-8 months.
