3 BLEND Reserve 2024

Pale yellow color with a golden hue. The aroma is ethereal, with nuances of tropical citrus, ripe pear, and roasted hazelnut, complemented by subtle herbaceous and floral notes. The taste is balanced and fresh, with dominant elegance and delicate accents of tropical fruits, freshly baked croissant, and hazelnut cream. The finish is long, with gentle impressions of apricot and orange blossom.

We use traditional grape varieties for the region, including the old local Dimyat, once considered one of the most highly valued white varieties. In the Tarnovo region, white varieties were often blended to contribute to a richer and more complex character of the wine. Maceration of the must with the skins and fermentation in barrels follow the old approach, where free-run juice was obtained after crushing the grapes in a trough and then left to "boil" in oak barrels.

It pairs perfectly with light vegetable dishes such as artichokes and asparagus, delicate seafood – langoustines and crabs, as well as fine fish like pagrus, sea bream or whitefish, prepared steamed, baked, or lightly poached. Also suitable for tender meats such as rabbit.

Recommended serving temperature:11-14°C

Vineyards:Our own vineyards in the "Pripeka" and "Lozyata" areas in the land of the village of Yalovo. Chardonnay and Dimyat have a planting density of 653 vines per decare and an average stem training system, with Chardonnay pruned to a double Guyot-Poussard and Dimyat to a three-arm goblet. Sauvignon Blanc has 555 vines per decare and a double Royat Cordon training system. Grown with respect for soil biodiversity, through green manuring and the use of natural products for phytosanitary protection and without any synthetic pesticides.

Vinification:Each of the varieties is vinified separately, with technology adapted to its character, and the harvest was carried out at different times to achieve optimal ripeness. Chardonnay ripens earliest and was harvested in the first days of September. It was pressed as whole clusters to preserve its finesse and delicacy. Sauvignon Blanc was harvested around September 10th, with destemming, crushing, and short skin maceration to extract its aromatic potential. Dimyat, the latest ripening variety, was harvested at the beginning of October and vinified with a two-day skin maceration, with bioprotection applied and no added sulfites. The fermentation of all three varieties takes place in oak barrels, followed by aging on fine lees. The total time in the barrel is about 6 months. The blend is composed of three barrels – one from each variety.
