DiVes Estate Winery

Winery

Although wine has accompanied Man from times immemorial, it has, not even for a moment, lost anything of its quality of being modern and intriguing.

We are a new generation of Bulgarian winemakers, infatuated with the entire journey that the Sun makes all the way to your glass. Our mission is to preserve the best there is to a terroir and to offer you wine that will strike you with its genuine naturalness.

Each grape variety is grown in a separate land plot. We apply only cutting-edge oenological technologies to the process of winemaking. The hand-picked grapes are transported some 4-5 km away and are immediately processed.

The timely usage of a cold and inert environment, aids us in tincturing our white wine varieties, and in applying pre-fermentative maceration to the red ones. We achieve our mission through a mixture of freshness and fruitiness, which helps distinguish our wines for their authentic naturalness.

DiVes Estate Winery is one of the younger wineries in Bulgaria. The winery was established with a main goal of producing high-quality Bulgarian wines.

DiVes Estate Winery has its owns vineyards and grows the most popular wine grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc.

In addition, we use the Bulgarian indigenous variety of Pamid to produce a high quality rose which when grown by the sea, adopts an inimitable freshness and subtlety. At our very first participation in an International wine competition – Vinaria 2012, we won the Gold medal for our Rosé – Vintage 2011.

Over the years many more medals and awards have followed, from prestigious international wine competitions.

Our greatest honour has been to be recognized for the high quality of DiVes Estate wines at the most prestigious wine competition globally, Decanter World Wine 2014, with the first time ever Gold Medal awarded to Bulgaria, for our Merlo Barrique Special Selection 2012.
