Zagreus Noble Dessert Mavrud

The grapes are hand-picked in late November, about 2 months after the regular picking, hand-sorted as they came in the winery and kept drying for further 3 months in open and well-ventilated place achieving a natural concentration of sugars, acidity, colour and flavour. The dried grapes are crushed and slow fermented with the stems. No barrel ageing, no filtration.
Very deep red, rich and complex, bursting with dried plums, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and dry leaves
notes. Sweet and powerful in the mouth, well balanced acidity and velvet tannins, further notes of black fruits, liquorice, prunes, figs, satisfying sweet finish and long aftertaste.
