From a family that’s been winning Golds for their wines since 1907, this is a ripe, juicy blend of Merlot and Cabernet. It’s made by husband and wife team Ivana and Yuli, based in Bulgaria’s Thracian Plains. A fruity, forward style to enjoy any time.
Ivana's Odiseya has a story that starts in the 1900s. Her husband's family had a winery in SW Bulgaria and, as early as 1907, it was winning Golds in London. Fast forward to 1945, Russian tanks rolled in and the family lost winery and land. They never gave up hope of regaining their property and once more making award winning wines. In 1989, state monopoly ceased, private ownership returned and many wineries fell into disrepair, including one on the Thracian Plains, close to the Rhodope Mountains. Yuli and Ivana came across it and dreamed of restoring the cellar to its former glory. The going's been tough, but Yuli persevered in the vineyards and Ivana learnt winemaking. Now they’re reaping success with, amongst others, this fruity red.
