Iliya Mavrud is a wine crafted from the native Bulgarian Mavrud grape (clone 1) – one of the country’s most distinctive and highly regarded indigenous varieties. The grapes are carefully selected to preserve the varietal’s authentic character and rich fruit expression.

The wine captivates with its deep ruby-red color and elegant structure. The balance between the vibrant fruit profile of Mavrud and the gentle maturation in Bulgarian oak adds depth, refinement, and complexity. On the palate, it is harmonious and smooth, offering a pleasant juiciness and a well-integrated structure.

The legend behind the wine’s name tells the story of Mavrud, the son of Iliya, who became strong and fearless thanks to the wine his mother made from the vines in their courtyard. This tale inspired the creation of the wine and highlights both its character and its Bulgarian heritage.
