Roots & Heritage
"We dedicate absolute care to our grapes – from their birth in the soil to the very last drop in the bottle. Our story is more than a mere chronology; it is a living legacy, passed down through generations in the heart of the Rose Valley."
Georgi Jekov
General ManagerThe First Major Recognition
It all began with a historic victory. In 1898 г. at the Antwerp World Expo in Belgium, our white wine made from the Red Misket was awarded a gold medal..
Това е първото международно признание за българско бяло вино в историята, което поставя началото на нашия стремеж към съвършенство.“
The Path to Leadership
"From the founding of the first wine cooperative, 'Vazrazhdane', in the 1920s to the present day, the winery has passed through several pivotal stages.".“
"In 1995 the company became fully privatized. What sets us apart is that it is owned by the employees themselves.. Today, with 700 hectares of our own vineyards and four modern wineries, we stand as the largest producer and exporter of wine in Bulgaria..“
Our wines are inspired by a 125-year heritage and the trust of millions of Bulgarians and people around the world!
