Origin
MAVRUD RED is produced in Bulgaria, a country renowned for its rich winemaking tradition and diverse terroirs. The wine reflects the unique characteristics of the Thracian Valley region, known for its favorable climate and soil conditions ideal for red grape cultivation.
Variety
This wine is made exclusively from the Mavrud grape variety, an indigenous Bulgarian red grape known for producing deeply colored, full-bodied wines with robust tannins and complex aromas.
Production
The Mavrud grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve their natural acidity and aromatic profile. The wine undergoes controlled fermentation at regulated temperatures to enhance flavor extraction. Aging is typically carried out in oak barrels to develop additional complexity, structure, and subtle vanilla notes.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
- Aroma: Intense bouquet featuring dark berries, plum, and hints of spice and oak.
- Palate: Full-bodied with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of ripe black fruit, chocolate, and subtle earthy undertones.
- Finish: Long and persistent with a smooth, velvety texture.
Food pairings
MAVRUD RED pairs excellently with hearty and flavorful dishes, enhancing the dining experience:
- Grilled or roasted red meats such as beef, lamb, and game.
- Rich stews and casseroles.
- Mature hard cheeses like aged cheddar or gouda.
- Traditional Bulgarian cuisine featuring paprika and spices.
