• Zitara Mourvedre 2018 - Four Friends


The Mourvèdre grape, also known as Monastrell in Spain, is a grape variety mainly grown in the regions of Provence and the Rhône Valley. Mourvèdre is often used as a complementary grape in blends, but here at Four Friends winery, it's different - 100% Mourvèdre from a single vineyard. The Thracian Valley region in Bulgaria is highly suitable for this grape, although it may be less known and less planted in the country. This is our first encounter with this grape from Bulgaria and it's an instant hit!

'Four Friends' have showcased the best of this grape - wine with deep color, expressive nose, firm yet silky tannins, and rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, spices, tobacco leaf, and a hint of wildness. Beautifully balanced with a long, soft finish. The winemaker has applied a classic vinification method here - cold maceration, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 12 months of aging in French oak barrels with 30% new oak and 30% second fill + 40% third fill.

With food: grilled red meat, stews, aged cheeses (Manchego, Cheddar, or Gouda), spicy dishes (Moroccan stews), and roasted vegetables (eggplant, bell peppers, and mushrooms). In short, look for dishes with robust flavors, depth, and texture to complement.
