Why this wine belongs

A modern Bulgarian invention that has aged into tradition.

Rubin was created in Bulgaria in 1944 by crossing Nebbiolo with Syrah — a grape that exists nowhere else as a native.

Tasting

Dark plum, violet and cocoa, with polished tannin and a long, warm finish.

At the table

Grilled red meat, mushroom dishes, hard cheeses.
