Assenovgrad Mavrud (75cl, 13.5%)

Assenovgrad Mavrud is a full-bodied Bulgarian red wine made from 100% Mavrud grapes. It comes from the Assenovgrad Winery in the West Thracian Valley, a producer established in 1947. The grapes are manually harvested in the second half of October at 21–22% sugar content and fermented in Ganimed-type devices. The wine is deeply coloured and structurally complex, with exceptional ageing potential. It shows ripe dark berries, vanilla, warm baking spices and subtle oak on the nose, juicy dark fruit and mature tannins on the palate, and a lingering fruity, woody finish.
