Winemaker's notes:
With its dense ruby-red colour, this superb Merlot is a combination of individually selected wines from grapes harvested from our Alchaka and Star Dimcha vineyards in the vicinity of Suhindol. Carefully selected by hand, the grapes from Alchaka area add a bouquet of morellos, blackberries and exotic spices, which are in perfect balance with the fragrances of dried and red fruit, typical for the grapes from Star Dimcha vineyards. A corpulent wine with a dense body, elegant tannins and notes of vanilla - the result of maturation in small oak barrels.
