Tasting notes

Deep, dark colour. Expect ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry typical of Mavrud, with spice and oak-derived notes from the Reserve ageing. Full-bodied and warm at 14.5%, with firm yet supple tannins and a long, savoury finish. Decant for about an hour before serving.

About this wine

AplauZ Mavrud Reserve comes from Villa Melnik, a family winery in the Struma Valley in south-western Bulgaria, near the historic wine town of Melnik. It is made entirely from Mavrud, the most celebrated indigenous red grape of Bulgaria, known for its deep colour, dark fruit and firm but supple tannins.

As a Reserve, the wine is built for structure and depth, reaching 14.5% alcohol, and is sealed with a natural cork. The AplauZ line is one of the signature ranges of the winery. It is a powerful, characterful red that shows the potential of Bulgarian native varieties and rewards decanting before serving.
