@ chateau_copsa
Chateau Copsa was established by the third generation of the Minkov family in 1998. It has around 50 hectares of vines in Rose Valley, nestled between the Balkan Mountains and Sredna Gora.
The cool mountain air along the valley, above average rainfall and free-draining soils all help to produce quality Red Misket, Muscat Ottonel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
A modern wine cellar, which includes a bottling line, as well as the use of French and American Oak allows Chateau Copsa to produce quality premium wines.
The estate hosts an impressive Medieval castle hotel designed by the famous Bulgarian architect, Zheko Tilev.
