My second Bulgarian wine. And what a wine! Extremely rich on nose and palate, long aftertaste, frit forward, well balanced. A very pleasent surprise. And fairly priced as well. — 7 years ago

My first Bulgarian wine and I am impressed by its complexity, by its ability to confirm all of my generalizations about the sheer exoticism of eastern Europe. This is a confusing, yet glorious amalgam of roses, pine, mountain air, and wild berries. This is Julie Andrews, spinning with arms spread, among seven wanderers genuflecting at vampire tombs. Disorienting. Vino di Vino. — 8 years ago

Deep red forest fruits, silky smooth tannins and hints of creamy chocolate, dried rosemary, rich, luscious, drinking beautifully after 14 yrs of ageing. 100% Mavrud, a Bulgarian native grape linked to Mourvèdre. #bulgarian #bandol ! — 8 years ago

Slowly double decanted in the bottle. After 2 hours, the aroma of rose, sweet plum, gentle woody opening up, like walking in to a Bulgarian rose garden. It is a pretty wine. Need to drink with a calm heart :) — 9 years ago

2013 is not at a peak, but still developing. Bulgarian pepper, raisins, greens, feathers. Color of s deep and intensive. Tannins are round, acidity average+. Good quality wine but I would rather prefer drink it few years later. — 7 years ago

Rubin is a Bulgarian variety made of crossing Nebbiolo and Shiraz. Funny nose with unexpectedly great taste. Less then 10 thousand bottles made. Check uniquato for more experimental products (e.g. Ruen and more). — 8 years ago

LONGING FOR THE SOUTH

Yesterday I drank this very nice Macedonian semi-dry T'ga za Jug red wine.

The wine is made of the native grape variety Vranec. It has an intense red color, and the distinctive taste of raisins and raspberries, which make it a nice sweet treat (hence: semi-dry).

The wine is named after the poem ‘Taga za Yug’ of the Bulgarian poet Konstantin Miladinov (1830–1862), one of the Miladinov brothers, who originate from Ottoman Macedonia. Both brothers are thought to have laid the foundation of the Macedonian literary tradition.

‘Taga za Yug’ means ‘longing for the South’ (el anhelo por el Sur): "If I had an eagle's wings, I would rise and fly on them to our shores, to our own parts [...] Here are frost and snow and ashes, blizzards and harsh winds abound [...] There the sunrise warms the soul".

When it is cold outside, and fiercely raining, I can assure you that it makes you long for the sun that warms the soul. Drinking the T'ga za Jug wine in good company and nice surroundings makes for a wonderful or sometimes even better alternative.
