Syrah & Viognier Ivo Varbanov 2017
Juicy, fresh and complex wine with expressive flavors of mulberry, fresh herbs, ripe blackberries, fennel and dark chocolate. Exceptional concentration, silky tannins and spicy notes. All elements are integrated in impeccable harmony. The Viognier adds charming floral nuance to the blend. Complex wine, appropriate for bottle aging. Beautiful pairing for duck, game meats, grilled veggies and aged cheeses.

More about this product
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.

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.
