Bulgaria’s 6,000-year wine history is as dynamic and complex as its wines. Sitting at the crossroads between East and West, the Bulgarian identity––as enchanting as it is austere––is a unique blend of such diverse influences as Thrace, Greece, the Roman, Russian and Ottoman Empires and the Soviet Union. At the core of it all are Bulgaria’s enduring winemaking traditions. At once exotic yet familiar, the wines of Bulgaria offer the comfort of friendly cabernets alongside the unexpected charm of its local varietals.
