Zagreus Vinica Mavrud | 0,75 l

Mavrud Vinica is the emblematic wine of the Zagreus winery. Its specific and undeniable characteristics are due to an approach adopted by the winemakers in Northern Italy, but unknown and foreign in Bulgaria and applied for the first time by the Zagreus wine team. After harvesting the grape, the Mavrud is dried for two months in an open and dry place, achieving a natural concentration of sugars and acids. After eighteen months of aging in Bulgarian oak barrels, the result is an extract wine with a distinctive spicy aroma and a balanced taste with a long aging potential.

Grape variety: 100% Mavrud

Tasting Notes:
Mavrud has a solid red-bright color, an intense aroma of ripe plums, black berries, chocolate and raisins with noble grape ripeness and a beautiful fruity nose.
