Winemaker's notes:
Tcherga white wine is a unique blend of Chardonnay, Aligote and Dimyat. As Tcherga, the typical Bulgarian craft made rug, gathers the most impressive and beautiful colors of Bulgaria, so this wine combines the most exquisite tastes and aromas of those three grape varieties from the Thracian Valley in Bulgaria. The wine reveals lively lemon color with light golden tinges. The nose combines mineral and fruit aromas, reminiscent of fresh peach, melon and green apple. The rich tropical taste is complimented by light and pleasant acidity and perceptible French oak nuances. This full bodied and excellently structured wine is a white wine to remember.
