Bulgarian wine has a unique history and character. They source from the ancient Thracians - the first wine producers in Europe, who lived on what is now Bulgarian land. In the 6th century BC the Thracian rulers held "symposia" drinking parties and which they had wine and discussed past and future battles and undertakings. We now enjoy wines of such a high quality they can compete with any other world famous brands. Priority is given to the indigenous grape varieties as Mavrud, Melnik, and Gamza.
