Villa Yambol is one of the oldest and most modern wineries in Bulgaria, with over 90 years of history and vineyards located in the warm and fertile region of Southern Bulgaria. The winery focuses on a balance between tradition and modern technologies in creating affordable and well-expressed wines.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vessels at a controlled temperature with delicate maceration of the skins to extract color and tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged briefly in stainless steel vessels to preserve its fruity character.
