Terra Tangra Organic Merlot / Rubin



£9.95
Taste
Savoury dark red fruit
Aroma
Brambles, Vanilla
Description
This fascinating and exciting red wine blend can claim to be the first wine from Bulgaria made 100% from organically grown grapes. Marrying an international grape (Merlot) with the indigenous Rubin grape variety, the result is unique and utterly convincing. Layers of dark brambly fruit vie with intense blackcurrant flavours with the whole medley being judiciously overlain by a classy sheen of vanillin from the French oak barrel ageing. The tannins are well-mannered, framing perfectly the deep, rich dark fruit. The purity of flavour clearly evokes the wine’s origins on the slopes of the Sakar Mountain.

Blast from the past
I remember the old bulgarian wines being ‘cheap and cheerful’ (I was probably less fussy back then!), but this one really is excellent, and still great value.
MikeyHH –
Gorgeous!
This has a strong scent of strawberries and also tastes of strawberries, although not as strongly. One of my favourite wines ever and I will definitely buy this one again!
Eleanor (verified owner) –
Great value
This has that slight foam that Sangiovese wines have and is quite similar in other ways too. Bright and lively this is superb drinking at the price.
Kloudy –
Proper wine
Not sure what I was expecting here, but what I got was seriously good. A proper red wine that is great for dinner parties etc, but cheap enough that you don’t have to save it for special opccasions.
HeatonTop –
Delicious
A wonderfully earthy Bulgarian wine – stunning!
