Description

This is a super elegant skin-contact wine - delicately orange. Made from 100% Keratsuda, an indigenous Bulgarian white grape variety native to Struma Valley grown in a very limited number of vineyards. Often ignored but the team at Libera estate takes the challenge to show its full potential in a different and modern style – as an Orange wine.

Libera estate was founded in 2013 and is a relatively new project on the wine map of Bulgaria. Their focus is predominantly on local Bulgarian grape varieties along some international ones. Their goal is to show the true face and potential of the Bulgarian wine by combining the local traditions and the contemporary vision of the team.  Their vineyards are 25 years old and estimate around 100 acres situated in the villages of Hotovo, Lozenitsa and Zornitsa. Libera estate’s team strongly believe that great wine is made from well-looked-after vineyards. A dedicated team of locals are involved in the cultivation of the vineyards and the grape harvest.

Fermentation with the grape skins for 50 days, no oak ageing and no filtration. Typical Keratsuda aromas of pear, apricot and white flowers on the nose. The palate is very fresh with pronounced tannins coming from the skin contact balanced with refreshing acidity. Medium bodied, intense and moreish, with very good length at the finish.
