Why We Selected This Wine
Pamid is often underestimated.
Although this local variety is known for its light structure and modest phenolic reserves, Villa Katina proves it can deliver a wine with character — preserving the aromatic profile while building the length, density, and finish we consider essential.
The result is a transparent, terroir-driven red from Karabunar: vivid fruit, rustic nuance, and an atypically long finish for Pamid — crafted with precision and bottled with zero intervention.
Vinification Philosophy
- Harvested at optimal ripeness of the clusters
- Pre-fermentative cold maceration of whole grapes (24 hours)
- Alcoholic fermentation in open-top vessels
- Post-fermentative maceration of part of the wine with Cabernet Sauvignon skins
- Partial aging in barrels made of white Bulgarian oak (4 months)
- Further maturation in stainless steel tanks (7 months)
- Completely free-run fraction — no pressing, no clarification, no filtration, no stabilization

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
Green cheese
An intense and salty accent that sits well with the fruity and structured red profile and makes the tannins feel soft and velvety. The acidity in the wine refreshes and balances the fats.
Snail Truffle pâté
A good choice for a deeper and velvety finish. The fruit notes in the wine contrast the earthy truffle, and the acidity "cuts" the fat in the pâté.
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.
