Grape Variety

Tasting Notes

A lively rosé with complexities of bright fruit such as apricot skin, white peach, yellow pear, strawberry, apple blossoms, and crushed rocks. The palate is soft with notes of grapefruit, pomegranate, sea spray, with a long and savory finish. An incredible wine on it's own but with great abilities to pair with a range of foods.   

Region

Thracian Valley

The Vineyard

The Nikolaevo Vineyard is situated on rolling hills in the Nikolaevo village in the east Thracian Valley. At the foot of the old mountain at 300 meters altitude, the grapes benefit from the cool air flow and good temperature amplitude between day and night during the ripening season. The soil is mainly clay, mixed with some limestone.
