Villa Melnik presents Melnik Jubilee1300 – a premium red wine from the Rare Varieties series, created with care for the unique local variety and rich tradition.

Variety: Melnik Jubilee 1300

Terroir: The vineyards are located on the southern sandy slopes near the village of Harsovo, in the Melnik Valley region. The soils are stony-sandy-limestone, the climate – Mediterranean with warm, dry summers and cool nights, combined with a cool mountain breeze from Pirin and Belasitsa, which promotes a more balanced ripening of the grapes.
