Main Info
The plantations of Kapatovo Family Estate are located in southwestern Bulgaria, just 5 kilometres from the town of Melnik.
The story of their wine begins back in 2006 with a special observation of the terror and analysis of the climatic conditions. Together with their partner Guillaume they selected the most suitable French grape varieties for the region, hoping to successfully develop the viticultural tradition in the area. The farm on the land, which began its history much earlier, in 1992, today covers over 1,200 acres, in the lands of the villages of Kapatovo and Zornitsa. On this territory there are vegetable gardens, lavender and olive groves, as well as about 260 acres of vines. The grapes are used for the production of wines with the brand “Kapatovo” as well as rakia (traditional Bulgarian brandy) with this brand. Lavender oil is used for the production of the “Lavisto” series of disinfectants.
The white grape varieties are Chardonnay (20 decares), Viognier (13 decares), Sauvignon Blanc (40 decares), and the red varieties are represented by Syrah (70 decares), Marcellan (15 decares), Petit Verdot (15 decares), Primitivo (10 decares), Grenache (40 decares), Murveder (20 decares) and Carignan (3 decares).
A lot of work, effort and constant care guarantee a good harvest of quality grapes. The wine they create uses 100% grapes grown on these vines, and the medals they win at various international exhibitions give them the confidence and strength to continue making quality wine.
They offer wine tastings in their new tasting pavilion where you can enjoy a glass of wine and panoramic views of the vineyards. Kapatovo Guest Houses are located just 5 kilometres from Melnik, in the village of Zornitsa, amidst beautiful and clean nature. The location allows wine tourists to easily visit numerous local wineries.
