Mavrud

The Mavrud is a native Bulgarian grape. The name is derived from the Greek word for "black". The Mavrud is considered one of the best and most distinctive Bulgarian grape varieties, but is planted on only 1.5% of the vineyard area. The grape originates from the Bulgarian province of Thrace.

What does wine from the Mavrud grape taste like?

It is a very old variety and produces deep ruby red wines, full of tannins and refreshing acidity. In the aromas you will find blackcurrants and mulberries, with further ripening shades of cocoa and chocolate. To get the best out of the grape, maturation in oak barrels is almost inevitable.
