History

Regional Information

  • The Thracian Lowlands have a mild climate, rolling hills and a maritime influence that provide a perfect environment to grow grapes. The Balkan Mountains serve to block the cold winds blowing from the plains of Russia, and the region to the south of the Balkans, the valley drained by the Maritsa River, has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, rainy winters and warm, dry summers

4 stars

This Thracian Merlot is very much underrated and ,in my opinion, is up there with some much more expensive Merlot’s. I’ve noticed that it is improved by being allowed to breath or decanted.

a Merlot to savour

5 stars

Smooth, fruity, undistinguished but terrific value

4 stars

A smooth, inoffensive Merlot with a fruity finish. Undistinguished and lacking in character, but as an easy, everyday drinking wine this is astonishingly good value. Certainly, the best wine I have found at around this price.
