Villa Katina Pamid Barrique 2025

2025 marks our second consecutive vintage of Karabunar Pamid, a wine that has become a true bestseller for our winery. This year, we aim to present an even purer, more refined, and authentic expression of this once underestimated local variety. To achieve this, we reduced the contact with Cabernet Sauvignon skins and limited both the proportion and duration of oak ageing —just enough to add a delicate touch, like a subtle makeup enhancing its elegant face.

With the desired wine profile in mind, the 2025 vintage was vinified as follows:

• harvesting at a point when the stems were fully lignified

• cold pre-fermentation maceration of whole bunches

• post-fermentation maceration of a portion of the wine with Cabernet Sauvignon skins

• partial aging in old Bulgarian oak barrels

• 100% free-run juice — no pressing

• unclarified, unfiltered, and unstabilized

The color is translucent, in the raspberry-red spectrum. The nose is delicate, reminiscent of cherry and raspberry. The palate is juicy, with predominant raspberry and cherry notes. The taste is fresh yet harmonious, with an unusually long finish for the variety.

Natural wine without stabilisers, sulphites and allergens.
