Bessa Valley Enira Reserve Thracian Lowlands PDO

Thracian Valley Wine Region, Bulgaria

Flagship Bordeaux blend from Thracian calcareous clay; Merlot-dominated with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Dense and structured: plum, blackcurrant, tobacco, graphite, and the distinctive Thracian mineral warmth. 18 months in French oak (50% new). Bulgaria's most internationally recognised wine — regularly featured in Decanter Top 100.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Bulgaria's national lamb dish with Bulgaria's national wine; Thracian Merlot's plum and warmth complement the herb-yoghurt lamb
• main: Bulgarian national dish pairing; Enira Reserve's structure handles the grilled spiced beef with shopska's freshness
• starter: Thracian Valley wine with the Thracian region's ancient food tradition; wine's herb notes echo vine leaf earthiness
