Bulgarian Wines

I’ve been traveling to Bulgaria on business for the past seven years. One of the best surprises was the quality of local wines. There are a number of really high quality wineries. Some of my favorites include Todoroff, Terra Tangra and Santa Sarah. I like in particular a local grape variety, Mavrud, which can be found either as a single grape or in combination with Cabernet Sauvignon. Most of the wines represent excellent value for money. I would like to share with you a wonderful wine I just tasted in my recent visit to Sofia – Santa Sarah Mavrud, 2009 (see picture). Cheers!
