Cabernet Franc "Z" - Zelanos

Z Cabernet Franc is a red from Zelanos, a small boutique winery in the village of Slavyantsi, in Bulgaria's Rose Valley, also known as the kingdom of Misket. "Wine is the only drink whose business card is the place where the grapes grew", says the winery.

Zelanos farms more than 70 hectares of its own vineyards, growing the local Misket alongside classic varieties.

This Cabernet Franc, from the Thracian Lowlands, shows red and dark berries, a herbal, peppery touch typical of the variety and fine tannins. Serve at 16–18 °C with grilled meats, lamb and hard cheeses.
