✨ Technical Specifications
Rubin Brestovitsa Vineyard by Georgiev/Milkov is a benchmark modern expression of Rubin, an indigenous Bulgarian hybrid grape created in 1944 by crossing Nebbiolo and Syrah. Sourced from old vines in Brestovitsa within the Thracian Valley, the wine reflects the region's warm continental climate and sandy-clay soils. Enologists Petar Georgiev and Radostin Milkov employ low-intervention winemaking, gentle extraction, and balanced maturation in oak to create a vibrant red that balances Nebbiolo's tannic structure with Syrah's plush fruit and spice.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2014 by winemakers Petar Georgiev and Radostin Milkov, Georgiev/Milkov is a boutique Bulgarian winery rooted in the storied terroir of the Thracian Valley. United by extensive international cellaring experience, the duo established the project with a dedicated mission to revitalize and champion Bulgaria's indigenous grape varieties through artisanal, low-intervention techniques. Sourcing grapes from meticulously selected old vines, most notably in and around the village of Brestovitsa, the winery is particularly celebrated for its expressive, single-vineyard expressions of Rubin and Mavrud. Their wines showcase a harmonious balance of fresh acidity, textural depth, and authentic varietal character that has earned them widespread critical acclaim as pioneers of modern Bulgarian winemaking.
