Why We Selected This Wine
Gamza is a rare grape deeply tied to Northern Bulgaria, especially the Pleven region. Many producers abandoned it because it is difficult to grow and unpredictable, which makes convincing examples especially important.
This wine is part of a deliberate effort to restore Gamza’s reputation and show its real potential — with finesse, elegance and a recognisable regional signature.
Gorun Gamza Reserva 2023 also reflects a broader movement: bringing forgotten Bulgarian grapes back into a modern, high-quality context.
Vinification Philosophy
- Harvest takes place between 15 and 25 September, with the condition of the grapes monitored daily to determine the most suitable picking moment. Manual selection is part of the precise approach in the cellar.
- Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vessels and is followed by malolactic fermentation. The resulting style is delicate and elegant, with good integration of fruit and spice notes.

Pairings from Sip ’n Bite
Curated gourmet pairings that highlight the wine's profile and structure — available for takeaway and tasting at Sip ’n Bite
Snail Truffle pâté
A good choice for a deeper, velvety finish. The citrus and floral notes in the wine contrast the earthy truffle, and the acidity "cuts" the fat in the pâté.
Delicatess "Tsonevo"
The wine refreshes the palate after fatty bites while the savoury meats highlight the wine's dark fruit and earthy complexity.
Lyutenitsa Keranitsa
The combination of notes of smokiness, toastiness, pepperiness, and delicate sweetness in the lyutenitsa highlight the same flavoуrs from the wine, soften the tannins, and create balance on the palate.
