Why this wine belongs
The most southern wine in the collection, and the one that tastes least like the rest of the country.
Grown only in the far south-west, the Broad-Leaved Melnik Vine ripens under Mediterranean influence that reaches Bulgaria through the Struma gorge.
Tasting
Dried fig, tobacco leaf and sun-warmed stone, with fine tannin and a savoury, Mediterranean finish.
At the table
Cured meats, roast pork, dishes with dried fruit.
