Snow wine is a trademark of Santa Sarah Wne Estate. Mavrud is a red grape variety that is indigenous to Bulgaria. Harvesting the grapes when the first snow falls is a traditional practice that has been used for more than 200 years, and it is believed to result in grapes with higher sugar levels and more concentrated flavors. And that's why they called it the Snow Wine. In 2005 Santa Sarah Wine Estate made its first Snow wine which is precisely from the Mavrud variety. Santa Sarah have also experimented with the Riesling grape variety, which is known for its high acidity. This suggests that they are interested in balancing the sweetness of the overripe grapes with a bright, refreshing acidity that can help to balance the wine and prevent it from being too cloying.
