The vineyards near the village of Lesichovo lie on the gentle slopes of Sredna Gora in Bulgaria’s Thracian Valley, between 250–350 meters above sea level. This historic wine region, shielded by mountains and influenced by the nearby Topolnitsa River, enjoys a temperate continental climate ideal for viticulture. Grapes are grown organically, nourished by natural manure and inter-row grass plantings, with no pesticides or herbicides used. A special plot, chosen for its alluvial, water-permeable soils, benefits from nearby vegetation and irrigation channels that help retain moisture and support young vine growth. With Cordon training and a 2023 yield of 4,400 kg/ha, the vineyard reflects both tradition and ecological care in one of Bulgaria’s most celebrated winemaking regions.
