Why this wine belongs
Bulgaria's oldest red grape, in its lightest possible form.
Mavrud picked early and pressed straight to juice, giving a rosé with the grape's herbal edge but none of its weight.
Tasting
Wild strawberry, pink grapefruit and a whisper of herb, pale and dry.
At the table
Grilled fish, summer salads, mezze.
