Information
Midalidare's brand of the same name honours the nature and climate conditions typical of the village of Mogilovo. Part of the winemaking philosophy is to grow only grape varieties suitable for the winery's unique terroir. The Midalidare brand presents the remarkable features of the area in combination with the varietal characteristics of the grapes, individually or blended. The charm of this series is visually supported by the beautiful monochrome wine labels: each varietal or blended wine has its own unique colour.
Brilliant yellow colour represents the powerful and spicy Cabernet Sauvignon & Petit Verdot blend.
