2023 Gorun Cabernet Franc Reserva
Gorun is a boutique family winery near Pleven, with vineyards on the Moesian Plateau above the Iskar River. Their Reserve Cabernet Franc 2020 won a gold medal at the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards, putting this small estate firmly on the international map. The Reserva range is aged in French and Bulgarian oak.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Franc.
Terroir: The Moesian Plateau above the Iskar River near Pleven, with chernozem and grey-forest soils. The continental climate, with significant diurnal variation, allows Cabernet Franc to develop both ripeness and varietal character.
Vinification & ageing: Hand-harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, then aged for around 12-18 months in French and Bulgarian oak barrels.
COLOUR: Deep ruby.
NOSE: Classic Cabernet Franc bouquet of blackcurrant, raspberry, violet, bell pepper and graphite, lifted by gentle wood spice.
PALATE: Medium- to full-bodied, with finely grained tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Excellent with grilled lamb, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16-18°C.
We deliver in Sofia and across Bulgaria. Pickup available at the bar at 33 Sveti Kliment Ohridski Street during opening hours.
