Combining with food

The complex fresh taste of this wine allows it to pair well with a variety of dishes, often rich in spices and aromas. Roasted ribs or braised pork with vegetables, lasagna with eggplant, or even a juicy burger would all be great matches.

Harvest

With knee-deep snow and winter frosts, we discovered the viticultural year in February. Winter left us with a good moisture reserve, while spring was long and cold (finally ‘normal’), which delayed the development of the vines. Rains and cool weather during the flowering period left a mark on some of the varieties and naturally regulated the yield, shaping loose clusters. Then followed the typical Sakar summer – with extremely high temperatures and long periods of drought. Just in time, the rain in August contributed to the shaping and preservation of a wonderful harvest! We began the grape harvest in the last days of August and, (im)patiently, after the rain, finished it at the end of October.

The vines

Along the gentle hills of the Sakar Mountain, not far from Harmanli, at an altitude of 130 meters, on cinnamon and gray forest soils, we cultivate our Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Chardonnay, Mavrud, and Rubin grapes.

Technology

One of the new stars of Sakar, a variety that consistently shows quality and characteristics. The 2021 harvest was favorable for Syrah in ROSALEA’s vineyard. Grapes for this wine were harvested on September 28th and October 8th, with sugar levels at 24.2 – 24.6% from two different parcels in our vineyard. One of them we call “bio” because it was not treated against diseases and pests and serves as an indicator for such conditions. Handpicking and foot stomping by an agronomist and oenologist. Fermentation took place in two vessels with an open cap – 750 and 1000 liters. One underwent no pre-maceration, while the other had a cold maceration for 7 days. Upon drawing the wines after completing alcoholic fermentation and pressing the solid parts in a basket press, only the free-run juice was separated from the press fractions and used in the final blend of the wine. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels, and it aged in them for 10 months. After being taken out of the barrels, the wine stayed in a stainless steel container for a few weeks for natural clarification. Bottled with light filtration on August 23, 2022.
