unique terroir, characterized by its clay and limestone-rich soils and favorable climatic
conditions, contributes to the production of exceptional wines.

about 230 m above sea level, offers an ideal location. The winds are rushing offset the excess
temperatures, hot or cold, continental climate related. It also benefits from the influence of
the Maritsa River, which flows some kilometers away.

the Thracian, that fill the air with the magic of the process and keep these traditions alive!
These wines are frequently praised for their complexity, balance, and excellent value.
