Tsarev Brod Winery Riesling Pet-Nat 2023

This naturally sparkling Riesling is nuts. In a great way. Amazingly fresh and zippy with classic Riesling aromas of lemon and apple. The palate is a soft and zippy, with a tiny hint of sweetness, apricots and white flowers. Ultra refreshing and dangerously drinkable. Easily knocked back with friends, or alongside a good fish & chips.

Tsarev Brod winery is located in the village of Tsarev Brod near the town of Shumen, very close to the only rock lay in Europe – Madara Raider which is an object of cultural and natural heritage of UNESCO. The project for the winery started in 2001 when the family of agronomists planted the first hectares of vines there. Being people close to the land they realized that to build a cellar and buildings is easy and fast but vineyards need more time and systemic care. After eight vintage campaigns their grapes from Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir were tested with various winemaking techniques by a lot of Bulgarian wineries and winemakers whose opinion was all very positive. Then when in 2015 the vineyards reached its optimal maturity the family owners joined forces with Nikolay Krastev, one of the leading winemakers in Bulgaria to produce their wines. Nikolay was closely following the development of the vineyards all these years and knows inside out its technological characteristics. Also a modern winery was built right next to the vineyards and more vineyards with the Bulgarian indigenous grapes Gergana and Evmolpia were planted.
