Main Info
Wine cellar Tsarev Brod is located near the village of the same name, 10 km from the town of Shumen. The project for the cellar began in 2001 when a family of agronomists (Ivan Ivanov and his wife) planted the first acres of the vineyard which are nowadays reach about 420 acres.
Mainly white varieties, including the unique Bulgarian variety Gergana which you will only find here, stored and vinified in an extremely professional manner.
The wine cellar has its own unique signature combining century old winemaking traditions with passion for innovation. This results in impressive wines with character – Pet-Nat Riesling – natural sparkling wine, Gergana, Ice Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc.
From the red varieties you will find the early ripening Pinot Noir and Evmolpia – a local variety gaining popularity, combining Merlot and the authentic Bulgarian Mavrud with exceptional potential and qualities.
All these masterpieces are the creation of the winery’s oenologist Nikolay Krastev who will tell you all about the wine’s path from the vineyard to the glass and bottle beyond the standard stereotypes. You will take a walk in the vineyards and learn the secrets of good wine. You will get closer to the Bulgarian folklore traditions, taste culinary delights and above all you will get to taste a variety of wines that you will remember for a long time.
