Produced by Chateau Avli – a family winery located in the village of Glushnik, Sliven region. The name of the winery comes from the medieval town of Avli, known for its agriculture and winemaking. The vineyards were planted in 2006 with French planting material and cover 330 decares on two massifs – Bozalaka and Rupov dol, at the foot of the Sliven mountain. The soils are clay-stony with southern exposure and excellent air drainage.
