【 Notable hybrid variety Rubin 】
Luxury cuvée of the Bulgarian cross breed Rubin.
The featured Bulgarian hybrid variety Rubin is a variety created in Bulgaria by crossing Syrah and Nebbiolo.
The strengths of both varieties, such as firm fruit flavor and elegant acidity, can be felt, and they are beginning to become popular for their soft mouthfeel.
With its small grains and relatively thin skin, Rubin is a grape variety suitable for making high-quality wines.

What is Catalgina?
NORTH OF THE BULGARIAN-GREECE BORDER, IN THE ANCIENT THRACIAN LAND KNOWN AS NO MAN'S LAND BECAUSE OF ITS LONG-STANDING INHABITABILITY, KRISTOF TRILINSKY FOUNDED CATARRINA IN 2004 WITH A FIRM CONVICTION.
Trilinsky, who loves nature and people, saw grapes as a manifestation of the soil, sunlight, breezes, and mental images, and decided to devote his heart and soul to turning the best parts of the grapes into wine.
The god of wine, Dionysus (Bacchus), originated from the god of wine, who was worshipped in Thrace. In No Man's Land, now Svilengrad, ancient Thracians made wine thousands of years ago.
It was not a coincidence that winemaking began in No Man's Land, but because the climate was perfect for grapes. It has a temperate climate, the temperature does not drop too much in winter, and the annual solar radiation is the largest in Bulgaria.
As a border zone between Bulgaria and Greece/Turkey, the site is untouched by nature, and nearby Mezec is home to the ancient Thracian kings, famous for their winemaking, which tells us that it is the wine region of choice.
The backbone of the winery is the twin brothers Kisiov, young brewers Svilen and Ivan.
Their dream is to carry on the ancient winemaking tradition of No Man's Land and to once again make this exceptional history of Thracian wines known to the world.
