The name of the Black C wine is a clever play on words, with "C" representing Cabernet Sauvignon, the grape variety from which the first Black C wine is made. Тhe Santa Sarah team's search for a suitable location eventually led them to the Black Sea coast, where they set up their workshop. Subconsciously, from the very beginning, creating the Black C wine, Santa Sarah Wine Estate knew that it would drop anchor on the Black Sea and set foot on solid ground from which it would create wines with a distinct identity. Black C White 2022 is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris varieties, carefully selected from the estate's own vineyards in the Goritsa area. The estate's commitment to quality and consistency is reflected in the vineyards, which are tended to by a team of dedicated enthusiasts.

Vinification
The grapes are picked early in the morning and placed in small boxes of 10-12 kg each. Following by cold maceration in the press for about 4-5 hours and a gentle pressing with the equivalent strength of a handshake between friends. 30% of the must undergoes cold maceration on the lees. In order to preserve their aroma, the musts are fermented cool, but not cold, in an oxygen-free environment for 4 weeks, in small stainless steel vats and in egg-type concrete vats.
Ageing
5 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting notes
Bright, light and vibrant color. Intense nose with notes of grapefruit and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is juicy, smooth and fresh, with medium body, soft acidity and elegant finish.
Food pairing
Pairs well with salads, asparagus, roasted vegetables, seafood and fish. Its structure and complexity can be appreciated on their own, without the need for food pairings.
