  • The New Face of Bulgaria (As Seen from Outside)
    The new face of Bulgaria (as seen from outside) Some perspectives based on my recent Divino seminar. “The new face of Bulgaria” was my original theme when I was asked to select some wines for a master-class at Divino’s autumn wine weekend; but I quickly came to realize that my topic would be better described as “a new version of a very old face”. As I’m sure everyone in Bulgaria already knows the country has been producing wine for hundreds, if not thousands, of years – with links back to ancient Dionysian legend. I‘m quite sure that, because of this long history, in the past people knew what grew well and where - something that today we might describe as an understanding of terroir. Sadly it seems that much of this link between land and people was broken in the previous era, when as wine production became so collectivised and industrial. Even after the change of regime, it has taken years for Bulgaria to sort out the whole land ownership issue enough to put herself back in the situation where wine producers can start the long process of relearning their links with the land. As many readers of Divino know, I’ve been coming to Bulgaria since the beginning of this new era and, as an outsider; I’ve definitely seen many changes and considerable progress over the last two decades. In my view, wines in Bulgaria today are better than ever before. Obviously I don’t know the ins and outs or the deep politics of the industry as many locals do.

Such foods are the grapes - rich in phenolic compounds, which are known as very potent bio-antioxidants. This paper presented a research made for the fi rst time- twelve red wine varieties (Rubin, Kaylashki Rubin, Storgozia, Mavrud, Nikopolski Mavrud, Melnik 55, Bouquet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Mourvedre and Malbec) and eight red table varieties (Velika, Dunav, Siyana, Hybrid V5-1, Muskat Hamburg, Moldova, Palieri and Black Pearl), cultivated in diff erent regions of Bulgaria were tested for their antioxidant activity (AA) and contents of total phenols (TPC), trans-resveratrol (t-RVT) and quercetin (QU). In the grape skins the parameters ranged: t-RVT- from 2.05 ± 0.21 to 14.34 ± 1.35 and from 1.44 ± 0.17 to 23.71 ± 2.53 mg/kg FW; QU- from 0.27 ± 0.03 to 1.98 ± 0.18 and from 0.63 ± 0.07 to 2.12 ± 0.20 mg/kg FW; TPC – from 17 ± 2 to 371 ± 33 and from 21 ± 2 to 444 ± 43 mmol GAE/kg dm and AA – from 23.2 ± 1.9 to 59.9 ± 5.5 and from 32.4 ± 2.8 to 66.4 ± 6.3 mmol TE/kg dm for wine and table grapes, respectively.

Have you ever drunk any Bulgarian wines? Certainly for me in the wine industry, I can count them on one hand. Well, until yesterday, yesterday, I attended a zoom tasting hosted by top Bulgarian sommelier, Zareh Masrobyan, and this tasting was named 'Funky Bulgaria' because simply the wines were really interesting, different and all indigenous varieties. I was incredibly impressed. So up until this point, the few Bulgarian wines I had tried had been incredible value. So I was super excited to try these. I was not disappointed. So I've decided I'm going to dedicate a whole episode just to these wines.

    WINERIES -BULGARIA Nr. Name/Type/Contact Description Location/Address Telephone Email/Skype Website/Facebook Thracian Lowland (South Bulgarian) Wine Region The Southern Region includes the Thracian Valley from the Balkan Range to the Greek border that boasts almost Mediterranean climatic conditions. The region includes the central part of the lowland, as well as parts of the Sakar mountain. The Balkan Mountains serve to block the cold winds blowing from the plains of Russia, and the region to the south of the Balkans, the valley drained by the Maritsa River, has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, rainy winters and warm, dry summers. It includes around 35% of the vineyard massifs. The temperate continental climate in the area and the favourable distribution of precipitation during the vegetation period are good premises for the developed red wine growing in the lowlands of Upper Thrace. Reds coming from this region are renowned. Mavrud, a famous local wine, as well as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscatel and Pamid are grown in the Thracian Valley. Mavrud is a red wine grape that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines, indigenous to the region of Kara Thrace in Bulgaria. The grape has been described as a characterful, low-yielding, small-berried and late-ripening grape capable of producing tannic, spicy wine with a potential for ageing. Jambol and Haskovo are two fine examples of South Bulgarian Wine Region. 01.
