The RUPEL Gorge is a picturesque gorge of the Struma River between the slopes of the Belasitsa and Sengel Mountains, connecting the Marikostinovo Field in Bulgaria with the Serres Field in Greece. Right there, opposite the asymmetrical sloping and steep valley slopes of the gorge, forming a main air corridor for the warm Aegean currents, is the RUPEL winery with its own vineyards.
The location is the village of Dolno Spanchevo, situated east of the town of Petrich. With the ancient name "Spancha," this settlement still carries the spirit of the peoples who inhabited it – Thracians, Macedonians, Romans, Slavs, Spanish Crusaders. For centuries, there has been grapes and wine here, and later the area became a natural wine center in Bulgaria, from which wine was distributed to Gorna Dzhumaya, Sofia, Greece, and Macedonia. Markets in Drama, Berovo, Pehchevo, Thessaloniki, Serres, Demir Hisar, and many others were supplied.
Melnik 55, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Marselan, and Sangiovese. Grape selection already during the harvesting process, demanding technological processes. Aging for 4 to 6 months in oak barrels and final refinement during blending in the winery.
