2023 Gorun Rubin Reserva
Gorun is a boutique family winery in the town of Iskar, around 30 km from Pleven, with vineyards on the windswept hills of the Moesian Plateau above the Iskar River. The Reserva range showcases the estate's flagship wines, aged in French and Bulgarian oak barrels for added complexity and structure.
Grape variety: 100% Rubin - a Bulgarian crossing of Nebbiolo and Syrah, particularly associated with the Pleven region.
Terroir: The Moesian Plateau above the Iskar River near Pleven, with chernozem and grey-forest soils. Continental climate with hot summers and cold winters.
Vinification & ageing: Hand-harvested grapes are fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature, then aged for around 12-18 months in a combination of French and Bulgarian oak barrels.
COLOUR: Deep ruby red.
NOSE: Rich nose of black cherry, blackberry, plum, sweet spice and subtle cedar from oak ageing.
PALATE: Medium- to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, generous fruit and a long, gently spicy finish.
FOOD PAIRING: A natural with grilled red meats, lamb dishes, beef stews and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16-18°C.
