Nestled in the southwest of Bulgaria, the Struma River Valley appellation is recognised as a DOP (Denominación de Origen Protegida). This wine region benefits from a unique climate, influenced by the proximity of the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains, providing ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The varied soils, ranging from limestone to marl, contribute to the diversity and complexity of the wines produced here.
The Struma River Valley is particularly renowned for its indigenous red grape varieties, notably Mavrud and Melnik, which produce wines rich in aromas of black fruits, spices, and a subtle mineral touch. The region's white wines are equally captivating, with Keratsuda offering notes of citrus and white flowers. The valley’s winemakers blend ancient traditions with modern innovations to produce wines that captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
Discovering a wine from the Struma River Valley is a sensory journey into a viticultural Bulgaria in full renaissance. Whether you are a novice in wine cellar management or a seasoned oenophile, these wines will enrich your collection and delight your palate.
