In addition to the many red grape varieties in the Thracian Valley region, a white variety is also present, cultivated by several winemakers, including the 'Four Friends' winery. Zitara Viognier is their 'single vineyard' wine, made from organically grown grapes located in the village of Momkovo, just a little further from the winery itself. A classic white wine vinification process is applied.
Our tasting notes: A glittering medium yellow color sets the stage for this expressive Viognier. The nose is pronounced, offering aromas of stone fruits like peach and melon, complemented by notes of white blossoms and delicate floral hints. In the background, subtle touches of vanilla and smokiness emerge. On the palate, this wine is dry and fresh, with a medium body and acidity. It’s rich and rounded, dominated by flavors of peach, melon, and roasted almonds, with a slight bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit. The winemaker Petr Iliev skillfully used only older oak barrels (second and third fill), allowing for subtle oak influence without overpowering the wine, with 6 months of aging.
Food pairing: This Viognier is equally enjoyable on its own or paired with dishes such as chicken breast, richer fish like salmon, or seafood like crab and lobster.
