Every Christmas box needs a monster - and this one is it. A velvet smooth blend of merlot and Cabernet, this one goes down so smooth you will never see the 15% coming. Big meats, and French fries recommended.

Red fruit, pepper and liquorice. This is a relatively light Bulgarian blend of Rubin and Syrah that will go best with chicken or pork.

Katarzyna Estate does one thing very well - STRONG. Not that it needs a safety warning, but this wine will benefit by decanting and letting it sit for an hour. Plus, vanilla, chocolate and smoke. Not to be drank before 20:00.

I don't remember a Bulgarian Sauvignon with this intensity. Lots of grass and nettles - exactly what we want to see here. Super refreshing so will also work as an aperitif for your holiday guests.

This is a blend of viognier, chardonnay and local variety tamianka. Light in colour but medium to long in the finish. The oily Viognier gives this wine its body and tail. Perfect for your pre-Christmas chicken Tikka.

Brought back by popular demand. The Good Year range from Medi Valley were some of our most popular wines in the past 3 years. Well balanced wines at great prices. This mix of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah is a mix of red fruits and great for salads. Another hit from the team.

Elegant and complex, fruity and tannic. A serious affair for any special dinner of red meats or stews. Bratanov is a top Bulgarian winery and never disappoints, this wine is just more evidence.

Chocolate and fruity and oh so good for sipping on the sofa. Despite the octane of this Cabernet, Syrah and Melnik blend, this is an exceptionally well balanced red that can be drunk without food.

Compared to other red Bulgarian atom bombs, this wine is nearly a detox :-). Melmik was Winston Churchill's favorite red variety for good reason. Medium bodied, light acidity make Melnik a great wine for pork or pasta. A great anytime wine
Merul Cabernet Selection

Mike's Tip
Another Bulgarian atom bomb. Just in case you missed it, let this wine breath before drinking. The Merlot and Mavrut make this wine a bit fruitier and more tannic than the Cabernet, and all in all a better food wine. I suggest you don't kill this bottle in one go, as it will be even better the next day.
Merul Cabernet Sauvignon

Mike's Tip
LET THIS WINE BREATH and get ready for a ton of bricks. Although is says 15.5% on the label, we all think this is a conservative estimate. This wine needs a few hours to breath before it gets in your glass. Jammy yet dry with a light tannin, smoky oak and leather dominate. pair with meat and serve a little cooler than you are probably used to.
Blanc de Noir

Mike's Tip
White pinot noirs are not something you come across everyday, and when you do they are normally something special. Deep and complex, this is a satiny wine that will stay on the pallet for a while. Red fruits and apples ready for salmon or cheddar cheese.
Muscato Ottonel

Mike's Tip
Muscat is normally a sure thing in Bulgaria, and this on is no exception. Aged in steel, this fresh honey filled whine brings that perfume to the nose and a long finish. I like Muscat with pizza, so think dripping cheese and you will be fine.
Sauvignon Blanc Sant´Ilia

Simple and free of everything other than grapes, this is a simple natural wine that will keep your head clear. Nice grassy tones even if the finish is a bit shorter than we would like. Serve ice cold!

Yellow green in color, this one of those rare finds that just blows you away for the price . This mix of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and Riesling will be treat you to a balance of sugar and acidity and a long long finish. Value wine - TOP TOP TOP.

Mike's Tip
If there is such a thing ;-), this is the lightest red of the bunch. Think red fruits instead of black, cherry and raspberry. A nice soft tannin giving it that touch to cut through some fat. This is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese & Alicante Bouchet.

These big blends are done so well in Bulgaria. This velvet mix of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah is a powerhouse of chocolate, coffee and blueberry flavor. An absolute joy from start to finish.

Another winner from Bratanov, this time in a Merlot and Syrah blend. The label does not do this wine (or the winery) credit. Full and fruity and perfect for anything off the grill.

Dense and full of all fruits that are black. The Cabernet Frank gives it its jammy fruitiness and the Cabernet Sauvignon a huge body and finish. Vanilla, soft, round and chocolately sweet - you will find it all here.

Mike's Tip
I was expecting something completely different. Rubin is a mix of Nebiolla and Syrah, giving it the potential to be very, very full and tannic. But, this wine was so well balanced, it is an easy drink even on its one. Big flavor and like all the regional reds, lots of juicy red fruit.
A Good Year

Mike's Tip
A mix of citrus, honey and vanilla makes this a fuller bodied wine. Great for an Indian take away or what you grabbed from the local Pho!. The finish is quite long, with just a hint of pepper.

Pale yellow and a little green, this Sauvignon is beautifully presented in its vessel. Relatively soft, but still plenty of flavor of lemon and grapefruit. Refreshing from start to finish.

- Alcohol: 13%

Mike's Tip
Viognier is one of the white varieties Bulgaria does really well. Always with a long finish, look for the taste of apricots, honey, ripe exotic fruit and vanilla. This wine taken from a single vineyard is smooth and juicy!
Tamianka
Wine description:
- Country: Bulgaria
- Grape: Muscat
- Alcohol: 13,5%
- Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: VínaBG
- Box: Balkan heat
- Price: 229 Kč
Mike's Tip
Something for sure you have never tried before. Tamianka originates from the middle east, but is found predominantly in Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries today. It is related to Muscatel - so expect a heavy partfum of flowers, but a relatively light taste.
Syrah Single Barrel
Wine description:

- Grape: Syrah
- Alcohol: 14,5%
- Style: Full-bodied, rich red wine
- Drink: Wine suitable for aging
- Supplier: VínaBG

- Price: 475 Kč
Mike's Tip
If you are looking for high end Bulgarian wine, from a young winemaker pushing the limits, this is it. Only 330 bottles made, this deep, dark Syrah is full of spice and red fruits. Drink it now for an elegant evening, or set it down for 10 years and come back for something exceptional.
Marble Land

Mike's Tip
Undoubtedly one of the top dogs of the Bulgarian Bordeaux style reds. Exceptional balance, deep red fruits, and a touch of tannin to give it just a touch power in your mouth. Pair with your best meat dish and your best friends. This is a treat.
Aplauz Villa Melnik

Mike's Tip
Of all the wineries in Melnik (yes Melnik grown in Melnik… ), the most celebrated is Villa Melnik. Wine making in the town started in the 1300's and has collected many fans for it's local variety including Winston Churchill. Located in the south west near Macedonia, the area produced very distinct flavors (and this is a gem!).
Mavrud Reserve

- Alcohol: 14,5%
- Style: Full-bodied, rich red wine
- Drink: Wine suitable for aging
- Supplier: VínaBG
- Box: The keys to old Bulgaria
- Price: 259 Kč
Mike's Tip
Mavrud is one of those "roads less travelled" varieties from Bulgaria. Full bodied, full flavor and very elegant, this is fine wine with a slightly spicy finish. Despite the alcohol level, the flavors are very subtle for such a big hitter.
Merlot Oak
Wine description:

Mike's Tip
Starosel winery was another great find and this merlot is a true representativ of their finest. Well rounded and full of tannin, make sure you have a big steak with a touch of fat to chase down with this wine. Like a knife to your fork!
Bratanov Syrah
Wine description:

Mike's Tip
I am so happy we found Bratanov winery, as everything they make is just "soo good". This very full and well rounded Syrah takes a lot of flavor and alcohol, and delivers it gift wrapped to your mouth. Look for a mix of pepper and chocolate in this .
Melnik 55
Wine description:
- Country: Bulgaria
- Grape: Melnik
- Alcohol: 13,5%
- Style: Medium-bodied red wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: VínaBG
- Box: The keys to old Bulgaria
- Price: 149 Kč
Mike's Tip
Few of you have probably tried a Melnik before. The closest thing I can compare it to is a light Svato Vavrinecke that can be a bit spicy at times. I found this one to have little pepper, but it made for a very easy, smooth and light red ideal just for sipping on the sofa. Enjoy something new and not complicated.
Horse Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Mike's Tip
A simple Sauvignon that lives up to it's name. Sauvignon derives it's name from the word "Sauvage" or savage in French. Look for "green" flavors and this grassy white.
eXcentric Incanto
Wine description:

Mike's Tip
Watch for for this one. Exceptionally smooth and full bodied, this wine packs a punch at 14,5%. Have this one with white meat as it will knock you out on it's own.
Muscat 2015 Starosel
Wine description:

- Grape: Muscat
- Alcohol: 11%
- Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
- Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
- Supplier: VínaBG

Mike's Tip
Muscat is one of the white wine varieties that Bulgaria seems to get right most of the time. This one has a full nutty and floral nose, and is very light on the pallet. Some light food with this one will leave you feeling refreshed.
Bratanov Chardonnay “Sur Lie”
Wine description:

Mike's Tip
The first Bulgarian white wine to blow me away!. I have been waiting months to bring this wine to the club and it is finally hear. A very full bodies chardonnay aged in oak. More France than California, I am sure this superb wine from Bratanov will impress you just as much.
