The 2020 vintage was outstanding, it can even be described as one of the best for Katarzyna Estate. It inspired our technologists Svilen and Ivan Kisiovi to create the Single Barrel project – an extremely limited series with which we wanted to build on everything up to now and make something really special. We settled on four red varieties, from which to vinify only a single barrel of 225 liters and bottled only 150 magnum bottles. We have selected the best grapes, from the best plots, fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels, after which the wine is aged for 10 months. We settled on four red varieties, selected in such a way that the terroir and its character are maximally expressed. Of course, we chose one to be Merlot, as typical of our region, the others are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.

“Single Barrel Merlot” is characterized by an intense color with a red-violet shade. Concentrated aroma of ripe berries combined with a hint of vanilla, coffee and spices. The taste is balanced, elegant, and the taste aroma fully corresponds to the nose of the wine. The finish of the wine is long-lasting and soft.

The wine goes very well with cheese, beef or pasta.
