Gift Set 3 BLEND Refills 2024

Pale yellow 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, considered in the past to be one of the most valued white varieties. In the Tarnovo region, white grape varieties were often combined 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 was 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 sautéed. 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 a medium-stem formation, with Chardonnay pruned to double Guyot-Poussard and Dimyat to goblet with three branches. Sauvignon Blanc has 555 vines per decare and a bilateral Cordon Royat formation. Cultivated with respect for soil biodiversity, using green fertilization and natural products for phytosanitary protection and without any synthetic pesticides.

Vinification:Each of the varieties is vinified separately, using technology adapted to its character, and the harvest is carried out at different times to achieve optimal ripeness. Chardonnay ripens earliest and is harvested in the first days of September. It is pressed with whole clusters to preserve fineness and delicacy. Sauvignon Blanc is harvested around September 10, with destemming, crushing, and short skin maceration to extract aromatic potential. Dimyat, the latest ripening variety, is harvested in early October and vinified with two days of skin maceration, applying bioprotection and without 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 consists of three barrels – one from each variety.
