“Melnik grapes are grown exclusively in Melnik Region, Bulgaria. Melnik
wines were known as one of Sir Winston Churchill’s favorite choices as
he was buying two barrels from the Region per year. The variety called
broad-leaved vine of Melnik, known also as Melnik, is one of the oldest
varieties and unique for Bulgaria. Melnik is a late-ripening variety, the
vintage is in the middle of October. It is supposed that the Thracians
brought the variety over from Asia in 2000 B.C. Proof of it can be found
in the antique epos, where Homer mentions in the "Iliad" the wonderful
elixir, brought from Thrace. The wines are fruity, with soft tannins and a
typical taste of the variety. The grapes are small, with thin blue skin and
broad leaves, which can be up to 23 cm in diameter. Some wines have
the aroma of tobacco and leather, and are suitable for aging in oak
barrels, which will bring out warmth and sophistication in the taste.
These southern wines impress at first with their deep ruby color,
characteristic aroma, Madeira-like taste and high alcohol. This
combination makes Melnik wines suitable for several years aging.”
