Merlot & Syrah Quel Mariage, Bratanov
Description
A beautifully balanced blend that showcases the harmonious marriage of Merlot and Syrah. Deep ruby red in colour, the wine opens with a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice, complemented by delicate nuances of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety tannins and an elegant structure. Rich, ripe fruit flavours of black cherries, currants, and plums intertwine with layers of subtle smokiness and peppery spice. The wine's smooth texture and well-integrated acidity lead to a long, satisfying finish.

Producer Details
Bratanov family winery is the result of the hard work and dedication of a father and his sons who embarked on a mission to restore the family wine tradition after a break of 50 years. The winery’s own 44ha vineyards are located on the sunny hills of South Sakar mountain near the village of Shishmanovo, Harmanli region – highly regarded as one of the best terroirs in Bulgaria, and contain the local Bulgarian varieties Rubin, Mavrud, Gamza (experimental) and Tamianka and the international Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier and Chardonnay. Their winery was established in 2010 where they craft limited batches of wines with minimal intervention, controlling the whole process from the grapes to the bottle. Starting from the 2016 vintage all wines are fermented “wild” with the native yeasts and microflora of the vineyards. Cherishing their family traditions, Bratanov named a few of their wines after their children – Syrah Elitsa, Chardonnay Belloslava and Rosé Maria.
