Odessos Winery, Claret, 2023 feed-cl0-USA and the Sugrue South Downs

and the Sugrue South Downs project was born

As the name ‘La Volcanique’ suggests the vineyards are planted in volcanic soils rich in basalt

which produce wines with a distinct intensity and vibrant acidity

cooling influence on the grapes that translates into a perfectly balanced wine

but undoubtedly rewards patience for those willing to wait

Odessos Winery, Claret, 2023 feed-cl0-USA and the Sugrue South DownsA 'Claret' (dark ros or light red, depending on your perspective) made from Cabernet Franc, from a single vineyard 300m above sea level. Intense red berry and green peppercorn aromas, loaded with ripe cherry and a delicate silky tannin structure on the palate. To serve, bob it in the fridge and serve it slightly chilled beside a proper grilled lamb flatbread. This is the first urban Bulgarian winery. These two brothers travelled all over the world
