Vrachanski Misket

A rare Northwestern white with a lifted floral aroma and an elegant, juicy palate.

Vrachanski Misket is an old local white grape associated with Northwestern Bulgaria and named after the town of Vratsa. Its precise parentage is unknown, and today it survives in relatively small plantings, making it one of Bulgaria’s more unusual regional varieties. It produces fragrant wines with white flowers, citrus peel, apple and wild herbs. Naturally moderate acidity gives the wines a soft, rounded texture, while careful harvesting preserves their freshness and aromatic definition.
