Enira, Reserva, Bessa Valley, Bulgaria 75cl

Count Stephan von Neipperg, owner of several famous Bordeaux properties including Châteaux Canon La Gaffelière and La Mondotte, deliberately sought out Bulgaria’s Bessa Valley, where the wonderful clay-limestone soils displayed the potential to make great wines.

In the shadow of the dramatic Rhodope Mountains, these soils provide the structure, strength and minerality that enable Stephan to create wonderful wines, full of power and elegance.

Very deep garnet colour, there is a plethora of aromas; magnificent scents of forest fruits, plum, red cherry followed by chocolate, vanilla and dried herbs. The palate is dense, smooth and homogeneous. The structure is masterly composed of silky tannins derives from ripe fruits and oak barrels. Opulent and long-lasting flavours complete this superb wine.
