Mavrud

the flagship dark grape of Bulgaria

The Mavrud grape variety is Bulgaria's flagship black grape. It's known as one of Bulgaria's most high-potential indigenous varieties.

Its name derives from the Greek word "mavro," meaning "black.”

Mavrud is cultivated in Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, and Romania.

Wines made from Mavrud typically have a deep ruby color. The most frequent aromas are blackberry and prune. A full-bodied, dense, harmonious taste with well-balanced tannin and acidity characterizes the palate. Mavrud wines usually benefit from oak, acquiring complex aromas and flavors.

Mavrud wines pair well with richly flavored dishes, beef stew, duck with orange sauce, duck stew, and various meat dishes.
