Zitara Cabernet Franc 30/300 Four Friends 2020
Cabernet Franc in a limited edition of 224 bottles.
The wine was formed in a barrel unique in itself, made from 300 year old oak planted back in 1716 in the forests of the Troncé in France. For 30 months, the barrel transmits its energy, memories and experiences to the wine. Cabernet Franc concentrated in itself the specificity of the terroir in the s. Gorno Botevo, the wisdom of the oak, the characteristics of Cabernet Franc and the vision of the winemaker. Spicy nose with aromas of sweet red pepper, roasted plums and tobacco. Medium body with good balance, smoothed tannins and a palate dominated by sweet red pepper with sour cherries.

Four Friends
Four Friends Wine Cellar has over 40 hectares of vineyards in the most suitable region for growing grapes in Bulgaria - Thracian Lowland. The mansion is nestled in the land of the village of Gorno Botevo, east of Stara Zagora. The choice is not accidental - the region is famous for its millennial wine traditions dating back 4,000 years. It is these traditions that want to revive four enthusiastic friends, connoisseurs of good Bulgarian wine. The first vineyards of the varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot were planted in 2006 after careful study of the terrain, climate and soil conditions in the region. Wines in the wine cellar & quot; Four Friends & quot; are produced by classical technologies with a lot of manual labor - this largely determines the quality of wine. The total capacity of the winery is 400,000 liters of wine, with the ability to produce 300,000 bottles per year.
