A high-quality wine that combines the distinctive qualities of the ancient Bulgarian Mavrud grape variety with the classic Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for over 12 months in French oak barriques, it has developed a complex bouquet of ripe fruit, dried leaves, vanilla, and tobacco. The palate is firm and balanced, with mature tannins and a warm finish.
