Our mission
French winemaking know-how meets ancient heritage
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.

Bordeaux tradition
A precious heritage of over 800 years of winemaking know-how.
Terroir
The soil is the source of all great wine, a complex interaction between soils of clay and limestone and subterranean climate.

The philosophy of wine is in the tasting. The perfect symposium on drinking and thinking.
Lifestyle
Wine - a symbol, a tradition and absolute aesthetically pleasing craftsmanship, a mix of philosophy and pleasure.
MORE THAN WINE
developed on mystical ancient land
Located on ancient land with our Bordeaux know-how, we use the complex interaction between great soil and continental climate. The wines from these great clay-limestone soils provide power and structure, but also acidity and minerality. Merlot is the majority (53%), as based on the terroirs. Other varieties (Syrah 25% Petit Verdot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon 10%) occupy the upper parts of the hills.

Trifon Zarezan Day
Traditionally on the Balkan peninsula today was the year’s first day of work on the vineyards – cutting the branches from the vines at the beginning of February.
The ritual often includes blessing the vineyards, as Saint Trifon is considered to be the guardian of the vineyards, and protector of all winemakers. The feast takes place after the ritual, when all the labourers who toiled to prune the vines are rewarded with meats, cheeses and wine.

Ah, Reserva.. 🌹
Spectacular wine consisting of all 4 of our red grape varieties – Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Has quite a dark garnet colour. Gorgeous bouquet consists of fruity aromas dominated by plum, forest fruits, dark chocolate and vanilla. The taste is sappy and round. The structure is masterly done fill with soft tannins showing wine potential and right harvest time. Splendid harmony and finesse. Avery long and promising final.
