Winemaker's notes:
Pomorie (with the ancient name Anhialo) is a famous vine-growing and wine-producing centre situated at the Southeast part of the territory of Bulgaria, on the Black Sea coast. Vine-growing and wine-producing are the main means of livelihood of the inhabitants of Pomorie since most ancient times.
