Winemaker's notes:
ReDark is Damianitza's premier wine, made from hand-picked grapes selected at optimal ripeness. The hot and dry summer of South-Western Bulgaria produced grapes of superbly concentrated aromas and a dramatic, purple-red color. Damianitza's oenological style and advanced vinification techniques brought out the distinctive personality of this versatile grape.

The result is a full-bodied yet velvety wine - indeed, Bulgaria's first ultrapremium wine. This wine is suitable for ageing and, although its supple character makes its approachable immediately, it is best enjoyed in three to five years.

A firm favourite that goes well with most meals. I always keep a bottle or two at home.
