Deep ruby-red colour with delicate garnet reflections. The nose is intense and complex, revealing layers of ripe plum, black cherry, and dried berries intertwined with elegant note s of lavender, dried flowers, Mediterranean herbs, and sweet spices. Subtle hints of cocoa, cinnamon, and cloves add further depth and sophistication. On the palate, the wine is rich and concentrated, offering remarkable balance between ripe fruit, silky tannins, and vibrant freshness. Refined and harmonious, it unfolds into a long, persistent finish marked by elegance, complexity, and exceptional finesse. Crafted exclusively from carefully selected Early Melnik grapes sourced from a single vineyard in the Struma Valley, Melnik Prime represents the pinnacle of Logodaj's expression of this iconic Bulgarian variety. Following meticulous vineyard selection and traditional vinification, the wine matures for 3 years in French oak barriques before continuing its development in bottle. This extended aging process allows the wine to achieve extraordinary complexity while preserving the freshness and character that define the Early Melnik grape. Show more
