Melnik Prime Grand Reserve 2018: Bulgaria’s Premier Red Wine Experience

Discover Bulgaria’s Finest Red Wine

Crafted with passion from Bulgaria’s iconic Melnik 55 varietal, this Struma Valley gem is a testament to tradition and innovation. Grown on a single four-hectare vineyard near General Todorov, our grapes thrive in nutrient-rich volcanic clay soils, ensuring unparalleled depth and complexity. Hand-harvested from mature 15-year-old vines, every bottle reflects meticulous craftsmanship—fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve vibrant fruitiness and aged for an impressive 36 months in Slavonian oak vats before bottling.

A Sensory Journey in Every Sip

This bold yet refined red captivates with its deep ruby hue and multi-layered aroma of ripe blackberries, dark chocolate ganache, and hints of vanilla spice. On the palate, velvety tannins cradle flavors of forest berries and cinnamon spice, culminating in a harmonious finish that lingers effortlessly. Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated Bulgarian wine tasting experience that balances power with elegance.

Elevate Your Dining Moments

Pair this premium Bulgarian red wine with hearty dishes like roasted lamb shank or grilled pheasant for a match made in culinary heaven. Equally stunning with rich ewe’s milk cheeses or vegetarian creations such as mushroom risotto or eggplant Parmigiana—this versatile wine adapts to any occasion while elevating flavors to new heights.
