Cabernet Franc 2021

Why this wine belongs

Shows how an international variety can still taste of Bulgaria.

On the eastern Thracian plain, Cabernet Franc ripens without losing its herbal signature — a European grape that has quietly found a home here.

Tasting

Raspberry leaf, graphite and crushed bay, with a fine-grained, cool-edged palate.

At the table

Duck, grilled vegetables, herb-crusted lamb.
