Tasting Notes

A truly big wine with a huge potential although this might not be the first thing you write at an opening of a wine tasting note, unless you are truly blown away by it. It’s a dry wine produced from the Merlot variety from the winery’s own 18 year old vineyards located in the village of Zad Gradishte, where the soil is predominately clay. It is characterised by an intense dark red colour and aromas of red and dark berry fruits, accompanied by cinnamon and cocoa notes, the result of ageing in new French barrels. Elegant, complex and full-bodied wine with fruity-spicy taste, tamed and velvety tannins and long plum marmalade and dark chocolate aftertaste.
