This is it! The finale of this year's Bulgarian wine month! Next year I'm hoping we can do it all again; this time with a new article and maybe some rakia! Thank you, Vance, for the support and the opportunity to drink some Bulgarian wine and tell the world about them!
I'm putting this month to a close with a pair of Mavruds. This is a native Bulgarian varietal. Mavrud's fruit is small, low yielding and late ripening but it makes the #1 top selling local wine within the country of Bulgaria. It's inky in color, tannic, spicy and normally sees a lot of oak aging. Stewed fruit and herbs are its common flavor characteristics.
