Bulgaria

Bulgaria is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning from the Black Sea coast to the inland mountains and valleys, Bulgaria's wine regions cover a wide array of terroirs. The cool, deep waters of the Black Sea play a major role in moderating Bulgaria's vineyards, sending refreshing breezes up to 50 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, producing crisp and aromatic wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-soaked valleys yield bigger, bolder wines. This diversity of conditions enables Bulgaria to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflecting the unique character of its growing regions.
