Bolgrad Odesa White
Product Information
Bolgrad winery, within South Odesa’s traditional wine-making centre, is the No 1 still wine brand in Ukraine and deservedly so.
Their ongoing mission in the UK is to inspire customers, sharing their love of culture and their quality driven wines. Bolgrad vineyards are situated between Yalpug, the biggest fresh-water lake in Eastern Europe, and the Black Sea so it has a unique terroir between two air masses – salt and pure.
The combination of these two elements gives us opportunity to compete with rest of the world.
Vines thrive in this ideal grape growing climate with warm long summers, mild winters and limestone rich soils. Yields are controlled to under 5 tons/Ha (giving less, but better-quality fruit) and the grapes are hand-harvested.
The winery is fitted with all modern equipment ensuring temperature-controlled fermentation and precision at every stage.
White wines spend at least a couple of months on lees for added texture
Tasting Notes
Sukholymanski is an indigenous white grape varietal of Ukraine, a muscat clone with white pepper notes. The Odesa White Cuvee is an expert blend of this along with 70% Chardonnay, giving zesty lemon fruitiness to the wine.
