2014 - Organic Mavrud and Rubin, Thracian Valley - Edoardo Miroglio, Elenova Wine Cellar
Fusing the old and new:- The Mavrud grape variety is more than 3000 years old and Rubin was created in the 1950's.
I've had Hungarian wine before, but never Bulgarian. This is a lovely wine, spicy oak, black fruit, and well rounded. Beautifully balanced wine, and interestingly complex.
