“The color is deep red, and the body - medium. Complex aromas of dark berries and stones such as prunes and blackberries can be sensed on the nose. The taste overlaps with the aroma, complemented by delicate vanilla notes, delicate smokiness and palpable freshness. The tannins are well integrated and the aftertaste is long leaving a feeling of well-ripened fruit and a touch of spiciness.”

Varieties: 60% Merlot; 40% Cabernet Franc
Terroir: The grapes for this wine come from the plots in the village of Kromidovo, as the vineyards with merlot are young - 4 years old, while those with Cabernet Franc are over 30 years old. The vineyards are grown in strict compliance with biodynamic practices in viticulture, which contributes to a clear terroir expression in the final product.
The climate is warm with large diurnal amplitudes, and the surrounding mountains and air currents coming from the Aegean Sea have a direct impact on it.
Wine: Hand harvested for each variety separately, at different times. The fermentation is carried out in separate tanks. After fermentation, Cabernet Franc and about 20% of Merlot are aged for about 10 months in old French oak barrels.
