Harsovo, Sandanski · Bulgaria
Villa Melnik
Since 2013
A family estate above the village of Harsovo, working the Melnik family of grapes on terraced south-facing slopes.
Philosophy
Family scale, native grapes, and a Mediterranean climate treated as an asset rather than a risk.
History
Built by the Draganovi family on land their ancestors farmed, reviving Melnik varieties that had nearly disappeared from commercial planting.
