QUEL MARIAGE! Translated from French – what marriage, what a coupage, what a harmony! This is a dare “rule breaking” coupage of the most typical Bordeaux (Merlot) and Rhone Valley (Syrah) varieties which is recognized as one of the best expressions of South Sakar mountain’s terroir for the last decade.
Intensely juicy and rich with aromas of plums, cherries and tobacco. The palate is surpirigly elegant thanks to a few years in bottle. The fruits have become darker, with secondary flavours of leather, liquorice and cassis. Tannins are present, but have nicely mellowed and the finish is long, unctuous and seductive.
Bratanov family winery is the result of the hard work and dedication of a father and his sons who embarked on a mission to restore the family wine tradition after a break of 50 years. The winery’s own 24ha vineyards are located on the sunny hills of South Sakar near the village of Shishmanovo, Harmanli region – highly regarded as one of the best terroirs in Bulgaria, and contain the local Bulgarian varieties Rubin, Mavrud and Tamyanka and the international Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. Their winery was established in 2010 where they craft limited batches of wines with minimal intervention, controlling the whole process from the grapes to the bottle. Cherishing their family traditions, Bratanov named a few of their wines after their children – Syrah Elitsa, Chardonnay Beloslava and Rosé Maria. A great asset at their team is the young oenologist Maria Stoeva, who graduated oenology from the Institut de la vigne et du vin “Jules Guyot” in Burgundy, France and came back to Bulgaria to practise her lifelong passion to make terroir driven wines.
