📍 Pomorie

Pomorie is a seaside town and wine area on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, on a small peninsula near Burgas. The area belongs to the country's Black Sea wine region. The climate is mild and maritime: warm winters and hot summers softened by sea breezes.

Local tradition is tied to the white grapes Muscat Ottonel and Misket, and the red Pamid, a light variety for simple wines. Aromatic whites with floral and white-fruit notes are made here, and Muscats can also be sweet.

Pomorie is also known for grape brandy, produced here since the early 20th century. Grape spirits and brandies are an important part of local culture, as is salt from Lake Pomorie.

Pomorie is not an official appellation but a place name: vines grow on sandy and sandy-clay soil. It belongs to Bulgaria's Black Sea region, where white wines dominate. Dry Muscat wines suit seafood and salads with sheep's cheese. The name Pomorie on a label shows that the grapes grew in this very area, which makes it easy to look for similar wines.
