Kaba Gayda Red 2022 Yamantievs Winery

The winery is situated in Ivaylovgrad, a town located in the remote regions of the Southern Bulgaria's Eastern Rhodopes. With its proximity to the Mediterranean or White Sea at just 70 km away, the area benefits from the influence of the 'white wind,' a phenomenon that greatly enhances the aromatic qualities of the grapes. The local environment is characterized by a semi-arid climate and soils reminiscent of cinnamon-coloured mountains.

The vineyards, exclusively owned and boasting approximately two decades of growth, sprawl across the outskirts of Ivaylovgrad. The wine itself is a blend composed of 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Rubin, resulting in a ruby hue enriched by delicate crimson undertones. The aromas are notably intense, marked by the presence of ripe blackcurrants, plums, and cherries. As for the palate, it offers a seamlessly smooth and harmonious experience, concluding with a lingering, gentle finish.

In terms of food pairings, this wine pairs excellently with barbecued dishes like burgers, and sausages, or with pasta served with tomato sauce, as well as terrines.
