Seewines Spirit, OTT1L 2023

100% Muscat Ottonel

Thracian Valley, Bulgaria 

Planted on hilly slopes, 250-350m above sea level on alluvial soils, grapes are hand selected in two passes, fermenation on the skins, in stainless steel for 2 weeks, bottled unfiltered. VEGAN, NO ADDED SULFUR. 

Located in southern Bulgaria between the Sredna Gora foothills and the Upper Thracian Lowland, near Lesichovo and midway between Sofia and Plovdiv, Seawines Spirit Distillery farms organically in a flat-to-gently hilly landscape shaped by a mild, river-influenced microclimate from the Topolnitsa River—conditions long prized for
aromatic whites and distillation material. Licensed in 2021, the estate controls roughly 37 acres of vineyards, primarily around Lesichovo (about 33 acres) at elevations of roughly 820–1,150 feet, with additional plantings near Svilengrad. Muscat Ottonel anchors production for high-quality brandy, complemented by small, connoisseur driven wine lots from rare and historic Bulgarian varieties. Farming is fully organic, relying on manure and cover crops, with a mix of young vineyards and restored old Muscat vines over 50 years of age, plus mature 10–11-year-old parcels, allowing precise field selection and terroir expression before vinification. Bottled under the Enso name—symbolizing wholeness and creative clarity—the wines and spirits reflect a thoughtful, site-driven Bulgarian producer focused on purity, heritage varieties, and disciplined craftsmanship.
