The nose on this Bulgarian Chardonnay might be promising with scents of dill, coconut, fresh apples and herbs. The palate, however, is jagged and disjointed with enamel-eroding acidity combined with flavors of vanilla, leafy stalks and sour green plums. The finish drops suddenly and ends on a smoky, dusty note.

Aromatically, this Bulgarian Riesling is quite pretty with loads of freshly pressed apples, elderflowers and Meyer lemon scents. Light bodied and dry with a racy acidity, its palate is austere but has some muted floral and honeydew flavors.

A curious bouquet of lemongrass, pine needles and green florals, this Bulgarian Traminer boasts pretty floral scents and flavors accented with notes of apple and lemon. The dry, medium-bodied palate is a bit dusty, however, with an abrasive acidity on the finish.

Confected and soapy with exuberant baby powder and floral tones, this dry, medium-bodied Bulgarian Muskat Ottonel is an uneven, craggy wine with shriekingly high acidity.

This refreshing Chardonnay—with aromas of grapefruit and lemon and flavors of zesty grapefruit and lemon zest—is anchored by a weight that gives it balance. Overall, the wine finds a great middle ground and is food friendly.

At $8, this is a great find, and has the exotic Bulgarian label to boot. The nose is all lemon zest and spice, and on the palate there is a lively, minerally punch with soft citrus flavors layered over it. A lovely summer sipping wine, best paired with seafood and salads.

Light, delicate aromas of lemon and flowers lead on this Riesling, and on the tongue; it offers a nice intermingling of fruit, flowers and zest. It’s a touch tart and angular, though, with overriding lemon on the palate, but at this price, it makes for a good everyday quaff.

This white has a big, lovely floral nose that leads into bigger, more complex fruit flavors with some heft, but also a poise that keeps it from plodding. Accessible and pretty, the wine is good for solo sipping or paired with cheeses, or even desserts.

Well priced and friendly, this Muskat has the honeyed, floral character of a traditional muscat, but also a lemony wave that overrides the rest. The citrus mutes the prettier character here, but overall, it’s a good, exotic sip at a great price.

Though pleasant aromatically with lots of freshly cut grass and gooseberry notes, this full-bodied, dry Bulgarian Sauvignon Blanc has a dense, clunky mouthfeel and a bracingly high acidity. There’s some decent lemon and grapefruit flavors, but plenty of tinned green asparagus as well.
