Bononia Estate, Koshava, Chardonnay

Danube Plain | Bulgaria

Ripe peach and apricot flavours lead to a palate of stone fruit and honeydew melon, with a full, mouth-filling texture.

About the Producer

Vineyards are located in North West Bulgaria, right on the shore of the Danube River where they enjoy a continental climate at 35-50m altitude and benefit from the influence of the river. Chardonnay grapes are carefully selected, hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The history of Bononia Estate is like a journey through the centuries starting as early as the times of the Roman Empire.

Ageing

The wine spends one month in French oak barrels, more to soften the edges than to impart flavour.

Food Pairing

Great with creamy pasta dishes, seafood and soft cheeses.
