Katarzyna Estate ‘Cheval de Katarzyna’ Mavrud

Katarzyna Estate began in 2003 when Krzysztof Trylinski stumbled upon a piece of untouched land near the village of Mezek, in a former border zone that once separated Bulgaria and Greece. He decided to fulfil one of his greatest dreams: to build a winery in the style of a classic French château.

After conducting research into the soil composition, climate, altitude, and terrain, it became clear that the region offered exceptional conditions for growing grapes, being located on the same geographical latitude as some of the most renowned wine regions in the world.

Over the next three years, the first vineyards were planted, laying the foundation for what would become Katarzyna Estate. Since their first harvest in 2006, the philosophy of the winery has been that success begins in the vineyard.

Trylinski ‘s Mavrud is a brilliant ruby-red colour, with a tangle of spices, red berries and a hint of leather on the nose. On the palate it’s soft, sweet and elegant. The finish is fine and lasting. He recommends trying it with charcuterie.
