Two standout wines from Ukraine\u2019s leading winery land in stores this winter.<\/h3>\n

\"BolgradI am proud to support this wine producer from the Odesa region, at a time of continuing conflict for the country. This delicious pair offers drinkers something a little different. This winter, Lidl is championing one of Eastern Europe\u2019s most exciting wine producers with the launch of a limited-edition Bolgrad wine package,<\/b>\u00a0showcasing two distinctive Ukrainian wines available in stores now, for four weeks only.<\/b><\/p>\n

With wine lovers seeking out new experiences, this Pinot Grigio<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Saperavi<\/b>\u00a0from Eastern Europe will showcase wines from this historic but lesser-known wine producing nation, and its unique terroir.\u00a0The 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.<\/p>\n

Hailing from the Odesa region in southwest Ukraine, Bolgrad<\/b>\u00a0is the country\u2019s most popular wine brand and a benchmark producer within one of Europe\u2019s most historic yet under-the-radar wine regions. Located near the Black Sea, the area benefits from a unique terroir, hot summers and low rainfall, delivering wines with depth, balance and vibrant character.<\/p>\n

The region\u2019s 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 Eastern European varieties.<\/p>\n

Selected by the experts at Kingsland Drinks,<\/b>\u00a0which 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.<\/p>\n

Bolgrad Pinot Grigio 2024 | 12.5% | \u00a38.49<\/b>
\nPale 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\u2019s an ideal match for chicken, creamy pasta dishes and fish.<\/i><\/p>\n

Bolgrad Select Saperavi 2024 | 14% | \u00a38.49<\/b>
\nThis medium-bodied, fruit-driven red will appeal to fans of Malbec. Bright ruby in colour, it shows 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.<\/i><\/p>\n
