Georgiev-Milkov Mixtape Red 2023

Each year, just a tiny parcel of this unique wine is crafted from an all-Bulgarian cast of grapes, grown in the storied soils of the ancient Thracian Valley.

A fresh creation from our esteemed friends Peter and Rado, the wine is their “mixtape” of Bulgaria’s indigenous varieties Pamid, Rubin, and Mavrud. Only 120 bottles were made. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation in barrel, followed by a gentle 8-month ageing process.

The result is a wine of vivid freshness and depth, with lifted berry fruit, ripe, structured tannins, and beautifully layered acidity. A perfect partner to charcuterie and aged cheeses.

About the Maker:

In 2014, Petar Georgiev and Radostin Milkov launched their wine project after gaining international experience in the USA, New Zealand, China, Austria, and Malta. With a mission to elevate Bulgarian grape varieties like Mavrud and Rubin, they scoured Bulgaria to find ideal vineyards, securing 40-year-old Mavrud vines near Novi Izvor and 40-year-old Rubin vines near Brestovitsa. In 2020, they debuted a white wine from the unique Red Misket grape, an uncommon local variety. Their winemaking approach combines modern style with elegance, showcasing the authenticity and beauty of Bulgaria's indigenous grapes.
