Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of Bulgarian breeding work carried out with the participation of the experimental base in Sandanski. Genetically, it is related to the local variety Shiroka melnishka loza and the Cabernet Sauvignon variety.

The grape belongs to the wine production category. Wines produced from this variety possess distinct varietal aromatics, mature tannins, and mild freshness.

The variety is cultivated predominantly in the area of the Struma River valley. A distinction should be made between this variety and the Bulgarian grape Rubin, which is a cross between the Syrah and Nebbiolo varieties.
