Details
These guys just can't do anything wrong in our eyes here at Good Pair Days. Where to start... This rosé has a little bit of funk, it is super pale - could almost be an oaky white (colour-wise) - with notes of butterscotch and sweet smoky spice. The mouthfeel is creamy and generous with pinpoint acidity and treat, yet ripe fruit. A very accomplished wine of incredible balance.

Petar Georgiev and Radostin Milkov have gone on to form one of the most innovative, exciting and dynamic wine partnerships in Bulgaria and are widely considered by many a commentator to be producing amongst the finest wines that the country has to offer. The pair have almost single-handedly championed both the Mavrud and Rubin grape varieties (the latter being a crossing between Syrah and Nebbiolo). Their search for the finest iterations of both of these grapes took them far and wide across the whole of Bulgaria until they found two plots, both boasting roughly 40-year-old vines of each grape type, the stage was set. Not only are Georgiev & Milkov doing a stellar job in pushing the perceptions and boundaries of quality for both of these varieties, but they are having some fun with them as well; crafting a Pét-Nat from Mavrud, as well as a Provençal-style pink from Rubin. Most recently these guys debuted with their first white wine made from Red Misket, an often misunderstood variety, which they aptly named 'Why not Rid Misket?'.

Pairing guide
Georviev & Milkov wines are always a welcome delight, and this delicious pink-hued bottle is right up there with our favourites. It’s going to be particularly good with festive dishes of glazed ham, barbecued prawns, whole roast poultry and smoked salmon starters, and will also shine served alongside a Christmas barbecue of sausages, homemade veggie burgers, or Asian-style beef and duck salads. Fresh tomato dishes, Moroccan and Middle Eastern cuisine and anything dotted with pomegranate seeds or drizzled in balsamic vinegar will also hit the high notes!
