Friendsips Sauvignon Blanc/Dimyat

The Wine:

This cheerful, summery white brings together the zesty freshness of Sauvignon Blanc with the soft fruit of Dimyat—an indigenous Bulgarian grape. The result is a wine that dances with citrus, melon, and a gentle herbal twist, making it an easy favourite for sunny afternoons or light evening meals.

It’s crisp, clean and lively on the palate, with just enough roundness to keep things beautifully balanced. Whether paired with seafood, salads or simply good conversation, this bottle makes friendship taste even better.

A vibrant and zesty white blend of Sauvignon Blanc and the adventurous Bulgarian Dimyat grape, this wine jumps out of the glass with open arms. Grapes are carefully sourced from private growers in the Thracian Valley, hand picked in small trays from vineyards with soils of high mineral content. Both varieties are vinified separately – constant temperature control during fermentation, ageing on the fine lees for 3 months with battonage two times per week, before final blending.

Pale yellow with green hues in appearance, the intense nose shows fresh herbs and tropical fruit. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, with lovely citrus peel, apple blossom, nettle, fresh cut grass and tarragon, before a lovely citrusy finish.

A real customer favourite!

The Maker:

Made by friends, for friends, the Friendsips range is a collaboration between the team at the Jolly Merchants and Zagreus Winery. Their aim was to create a concept of young, vibrant, jolly and engaging wines that feel modern and drink elegantly, revealing the authenticity and beauty of the indigenous Bulgarian grape varieties Dimyat and Mavrud blended alongside the most successful international grape varieties grown in the country. Friendsips are wines that “jump out of the glass and hug you”, “wear a suit and a pair of sneakers” and deserve to be shared amongst friends at any occasions.

Food Pairing:

Try as an aperitif or with shellfish, seafood, fresh vegetables, or light cheeses.
