Estate
Bessa Valley Winery represents a masterful union of French winemaking tradition and the ancient terroir of the Thracian Valley—an exceptional wine region shaped by millennial traditions in viticulture dating back to the time of the god Dionysus.
Spanning 250 hectares of pristine landscape, our estate is distinguished by a unique architectural cellar carved directly into the hillside rock.
This natural sanctuary, formed by limestone walls bearing traces of prehistoric sea fossils, provides naturally stable temperature and humidity conditions, creating an ideal environment for the slow and precise maturation of our wines.
Today, Bessa Valley Winery stands as a global ambassador for Bulgarian wine. With 80% of our production exported to discerning connoisseurs across Europe, North America, and Asia, our wines carry the spirit and heritage of the Thracian Valley to the world.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked, then carefully selected on sorting tables. Cold maceration of whole berries is performed from 3 to 5 days at 14- 16 ºC in order to reach desired color and fruits flavors. Alcohol fermentation with addition of selected yeast strains is controlled at 26-28 ºC during 8-10 days, in order to reach 3-4 g/l residual sugar, followed by maceration from 5 to 8 days in concrete tanks 10 m³-thermoregulated. Malolactic fermentation continues in tanks, then ageing for about 10 -12 months in oak barrels.
Ageing
Aged 30% two years-old and 70% three-years old French oak barrels
Tasting Notes
The wine presents with deep garnet colour. Abundance of aromas of plum, cherry, chocolate
attract at the beginning. The taste is middle structured with supple tannins and an enjoyable end.
