The goal before us is to show the true appearance of Bulgarian wine by combining local centuries-old traditions and the modern look of our team.
Libera Estate is a new project on the wine list of Bulgaria. Libera wines were first vinified in 2013. It relies mainly on local and a few international varieties. This line is maintained until the beginning of 2017, when we decided to increase our portfolio of wines.
Our vineyards number more than 350 decares in the land of the villages of Hotovo, Lozenitsa and Zornitsa. We are located 9 km. from Sandanski and 6 km. from Melnik in an area steeped in history and wine.
The vineyards are 25 years old, which makes them very sustainable, and every year we turn a quality harvest into a bottle of wine.
Vineyard
Our sunny vineyards are located on the land of the villages of Hotovo, Lozenitsa and Zornitsa and number more than 350 decares. An important place is occupied by the local Bulgarian varieties such as Melnik 55, Melnik 82, Shiroka Melnishka loza for the reds and Sandanski muscat and Dimyat for the whites. From the international varieties we grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cheese with great love.
Terroir
The valley of the river Struma is an extremely interesting terroir, characterized by mild winters and hot summers, and the mountains that surround us are an important factor and also determine the nature of our wines.
Climate
The hot summer and mild winter, combined with the soil analyzes in the region give a good precondition for making excellent terroir wines, and the comparison with Tuscany in Italy is not in vain.
When we talk about the famous wines from the Melnik region, we can not fail to mention the local varieties that we can find only here - Melnik 55, Shiroka Melnik vine, Melnik 82 and Sandanski Muscat. They are and will be the leading motive in the wines of Libera Estate.
