Bolgrad Ukrainian wine favourite back on Lidl’s shelves | City & Business | Finance

From Ukraine’s Odesa region, this limited edition wine duo from Lidl offers drinkers something very different. With wine lovers seeking out new experiences, this brand new Pinot Grigio and the popular Saperavi from Eastern Europe showcase wines from an historic but lesser-known region and its extraordinary terroir. The duo includes a red made from a Georgian grape Saperavi, and a Pinot Grigio – which will land for the very first time on UK supermarket shelves.

Hailing from southwest Ukraine, Bolgrad is the country’s most popular wine brand and a benchmark producer within one of Europe’s most historic yet under-the-radar wine regions. Located near the Black Sea, the area benefits from unique soil, hot summers and low rainfall, delivering wines with depth, balance and vibrant character. The region’s winemaking heritage dates back to ancient Greek settlements at Boristhenis and Tyras. Today, Bolgrad builds on this legacy with a modern approach, combining indigenous varieties with internationally recognised grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as native Easter European varieties. 

Selected by the experts at Kingsland Drinks, which supplies wines to UK supermarkets, the two wines in this exclusive Lidl bundle offer a warming red and a refreshing white – perfect for winter dining and discovering something a little different. Bolgrad Pinot Grigio 2024 | 12.5% | £8.49. Pale lemon in colour and light-bodied, this fresh, expressive Pinot Grigio offers lively acidity alongside ripe citrus, white blossom and a subtle hint of lychee. Aged on its lees for three months, it’s an ideal match for chicken, creamy pasta dishes and fish.

Bolgrad Select Saperavi 2024 | 14% | £8.49 is a medium-bodied, fruit-driven red that will appeal to fans of Malbec. Bright ruby in colour, it wafts aromas of red and black berries, prunes and spice, with fine tannins, a balanced palate and a long, satisfying finish. A versatile food wine, it pairs beautifully with winter casseroles, braised lamb and chilli con carne. The limited-edition Bolgrad wines will be available exclusively at Lidl while stocks last. Last time there was a delivery it fast became a sell-out. www.lidl.co.uk, www.kingsland-drinks.com
