"We call it the "best of both worlds" - the Merlot gives a winey body and makes the drink semi-dry, while the raspberries give a strong fruity attack and a wonderful aftertaste without dominating."
The name comes from the Trastena area, located at the northern foot of Izdrimets Peak at 1130 m above sea level in the Balkan Mountains, where the Trastenaya hut is also located.
The drink is made from 50% ecologically pure raspberry wine and 50% high-quality Merlot.
The technology for making it is borrowed from an old recipe for fruit wines, without preservatives, essences or additional flavors.
