這瓶2010年開始時帶著柔美的步姿，腳步輕盈，沒料到暗藏兩小時後的蓄勢力，如沙灘上突然海浪湧至，充滿驚喜！

Enira is the wine made in Bessa Valley

We, the wine-makers from Bessa Valley, are inspired by this place as much as the Bessians were 2500 years ago.Now we are the Bessians! It is our destiny to grow the vines of the Valley and make great wine from their fruit year after year. Everything is done with the greatest respect for the nature, the people, the vines and its fruit. We are not in a hurry. We are not losing the harmony.

“Our wine is for pleasure – we serve it before dinner and during dinner. I’ve chosen Bulgaria because of the magnificent terroir. With Enira we revive the image of the Bulgarian wines worldwide. I can’t find competitive wine internationally like Enira.

Count Stephan von Neipperg (Owner of Ch. Canon la Gaffeliere (Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe B), La Mondotte)
