Cabernet Sauvignon 45%, Cabernet Franc 40%, Merlot 15%.

An elegant, smooth and juicy blend created by the oenological team of Domaine Marasch, Lena Petrova and Evgeni Trenchev. The grapes are from 15-year-old vines in the Andonov Bozalak area, village of Nedyalsko, municipality of Straldzha - the soils are leached chernozem-resins and alluvial. The grape harvest took place in October, with an optimal balance of titratable acids, pH and sugars - in values determined over the years by the winery team. Cold maceration for 12 days and controlled fermentation were carried out. The wine was aged in 225 litres of barriques, a combination of different producers and partly in American oak.

More about this product

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.

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
