Description
Villa Melnik Aplauz Melnik 55 Reserve 2021 is a dry, still red wine from the Struma Valley wine region in Bulgaria, made from the indigenous Melnik 55 grape variety. The grapes are hand-selected, and the wine is aged for around 15–18 months in Bulgarian oak barrels, giving it an elegant character and complex aromas of black fruit and spices.

This Reserve style from the Aplauz series offers a modern yet authentic expression of the local terroir.
