Vineyards

Vinex Preslav is a benchmark for wines with character and a distinctive identity. Our vineyards are located in three key micro-regions for winemaking in Bulgaria – Han Krum, Novi Pazar, and Veliki Preslav. We cultivate vineyards with varieties such as Traminer, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Merlot, and others.

Terroir

The terroir here favors a perfect varietal expression. This is an extremely suitable area for growing white grapes. The relief is hilly, with an altitude of 200 – 280 m. Brown forest soils and carbonate chernozem predominate. They are well-aerated and warm, soils with a light granular structure (especially for higher micro-regions) and have a pH of 6 – 6.5.

Climate

The average temperature sum during the growing season is 3600-3700°C, which, combined with a long and warm autumn, ensures sufficient sugar accumulation, with high titratable acidity and a pH of 3.0 – 3.2. The annual rainfall is about 650 dm3/m2, which ensures good physiological tissue moisture.
