The producer’s personal opinion about the product:Stephan Von Neipperg (owner of the famous Château Canon la Gaffelière, Mondotte in Saint Emilion, co-owner of GUIRAUD), in partnership with Dr. Karl-Heinz Hauptmann, was one of the first to invest in the Pazardjik region, located 135 km south-east of Sofia.The land, replanted with Bordeaux grape varieties and eventually with local varieties, benefits from the philosophy of Vignobles Comtes Von Neipperg. The Neipperg family has been cultivating vines and producing wines for 800 years. The Bessa Valley project has been advised by Bordeaux oenologist Marc Dworkin since its inception, who is also oenologist for Alira (Romania) and Nine Peaks (China). He worked for seventeen years for famous French wineries such as Château Clarke, Cote Montpezat, Château Larmande and Château Bellefont-Belcier. Marc Dworkin arrived in Bulgaria in 1999 as a consultant, and has contributed to the revival of Bulgarian wines.
