This wine is made from selected grapes from selected vineyards. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are from the winery's own estates in the village of Smochevo, and Cabernet Franc and Syrah are from a single vineyard in the Danube Plain. The grapes of the individual varieties are picked and processed independently. It is selected on the vineyard itself. In the cellar, it was sorted on a double sorting table – after the crushing with a machine, the particles of bunches that passed through the crushing machine, the damaged and green grains were separated, after which it was vinified. The wines of the individual varieties were aged for twelve months in French oak barrels where they achieved completeness and harmony. Stressful cold stabilization is avoided. After tasting, a total of ten barrels were selected from which the blend was made. The wine is unfiltered.

Medi Valley

Medi Valley

Medi Vali is a classic wine complex, built in 2007. It is located in the village of Smochevo, located at the foot of southwestern Rila, at 630 m above sea level, in the northernmost part of the valley of the river Struma, on the picturesque road to the Rila Monastery. It consists of a modern wine cellar and 370 decares of vineyards, planted with Chardonnay, Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc, two branches of Merlot and two branches of Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2010 in Medi Valley the realization of the new concept of the winery began, the aim of which is to turn it into the pearl of the Bulgarian southwest. The creation of interesting, rich, specific terroir wines with their own style and unique character begins, made from specially selected for each variety and type of wine from grapes in optimal maturity.

Struma Valley

Struma Valley

The Struma Valley region covers the Southwestern part of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian part of Macedonia. The climate of the region is specific and is highly influenced by the warm currents from the Mediterranean Sea. The main grape varieties here are the local endemic Shiroka Melnishka vine, Melnik 55 (cross between Shiroka Melnishka vine and the French variety Valdigie), but also the international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and others. Due to the dryer climate and the higher temperatures, the wines develop warm southern tones in the aroma, with nuances of ripe fruit and a densely rich body. Of particular interest are the wines from Shiroka Melnik vine, partly due to the fact that the variety is difficult to grow because it ripens in late autumn. Today, the region is the most dynamically developing in Bulgaria, with many new, small, family owned wineries, increasingly focused on the quality and terroir expression of the wines they produce.
