The Wine:
A Seriously Delicious Chilled Red with Attitude!
Georgi & Milkov Groovy Mavrud is the kind of red that changes minds. Serve it lightly chilled and it bursts into life — juicy, vibrant and irresistibly drinkable. Aged in a combination of old oak and stainless steel, it carries gentle texture and depth while keeping the fruit front and centre. The result is soft, rounded and packed with character, yet wonderfully fresh on the finish.
Made without filtration and with no added sulphites, this is Mavrud in its purest, most energetic form. Ripe blackberry and dark cherry flavours mingle with subtle spice and a touch of earthy savouriness; all wrapped in smooth tannins and natural lift. It is bold but playful, structured yet refreshing — a stunning chilled red that is guaranteed to surprise and delight.
The Maker:
One of the most exciting projects of the Bulgarian wine scene, Georgiev & Milkov combine fresh ideas and a modern approach with respect for the local winemaking traditions and the indigenous grapes. The resulting wines are effortlessly stylish and show a real sense of place.
In 2014 Petar Georgiev and Radostin Milkov started their own project. After gaining enough experience in various places around the world including the USA, New Zealand, China, Austria and Malta the two friends began working on the Bulgarian stage bringing in a bunch of fresh ideas. They decided it was high time that local varieties like Mavrud and Rubin should get the attention they deserve both by the wide public and the wine experts.
As a result, today, Georgiev & Milkov source their grapes from 40-year-old vineyards of Mavrud and another 40 year old vineyard of Rubin. Both plots are located in the Plovdiv region, in the Thracian Valley. This part of the country has ancient winemaking traditions dating as far back as 4,000 BC. In fact, Thracian Valley is even claimed to be the birthplace of Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of wine.
Petar and Radostin’s style allows for all their wines to feel modern and to drink elegantly, revealing the authenticity and beauty of the indigenous Bulgarian grape varieties.
