2023 Georgiev-Milkov - Thracian Valley Pet Nat Funky Mavrud Extra Brut (750ml)

2023 Georgiev-Milkov - Thracian Valley Pet Nat Funky Mavrud Extra Brut (750ml) invites you to explore Bulgaria's Thracian Valley through a sparkling, natural lens. This Pet Nat, crafted from Mavrud, delivers a dry, lively experience with the charm of a bottle-fermented, low-dosage wine.

The Funky Mavrud profile hints at a natural-wine ethos—a playful, rustic character that contrasts with more polished sparklers and appeals to those seeking something distinctly different.

Tasting notes

• Aromas blend tart red berries with citrus zest and a whisper of rustic yeast.
• On the palate: bone-dry, with bright acidity and a lively mousse; flavors of red currant, cranberry, and lemon rind, finishing with a mineral, chalky lift.

Food pairings

• Seafood and shellfish: grilled sardines, lemon-dressed shrimp, or a citrusy seafood salad.
• Light poultry or pork dishes with herbs or citrus zest.
• Soft cheeses, charcuterie, and tapas-style plates featuring vegetables with bright acidity.

Best served well-chilled to highlight the wine’s fizz and fresh, natural character.
