“The guest” Misket is the first wine series from deVina, launched in 2020 alongside Dimyat. The labels feature a wild hare, inspired by spontaneous encounters with these animals in the vineyard. Winemaker and owner Dragomir Slavchev explains: this is a modern interpretation with a fresh and aromatic style, light body, and pronounced minerality.
