Shiroka Melnishka Loza, Pinot Noir
TYPE: Dry Red Wine
AWARDS
Bronze medal at DWWA
Pinot Noir from the Black Sea terroir and Broadleaved Melnik vine from the hot Southwest corner of Bulgaria with its strong Mediterranean influence - two delicate varieties that perfectly complement each other in this blend. Shiny ruby colour, delicate structure and a slight nuance of sweetness. The aromas of herbs and red berries are followed by the typical peppery notes in the taste, dried flowers and stone fruits. This extravaganza of fruity freshness would pair smoothly with pasta and grilled vegetables, but for connoisseurs we strongly recommend a combination with light chocolate desserts.

VINIFICATION
Pinot Noir is a relatively early ripening variety and is harvested in early September. Broadleaved Melnik vine is a late-ripening variety that is harvested in early October. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in separate tanks, and the delicate structure of both grape varieties determines the maceration before fermentation to be no more than a week, and after fermentation - only 3-4 days to prevent excessive extraction of phenolic compounds. The wines are aged for about 10 months in lightly toasted French oak barrels, of which only 20% are new. After reaching the desired organoleptic characteristics, the wines are blended and bottled. The series is limited to 2560 bottles.
FOOD PAIRING
Enjoy the wine paired with pasta and grilled vegetables, as well as meat dishes with red sauces, even with light chocolate desserts.
