Three Generations BIO | By Zagreus

Three generations and three grapes in one wine!

Three generations with one aim - to leave something behind!

Message from Dimitar Kostadinov, owner of Zagreus Winery

"It all began in the winter of 2001, in the living room of our home in Parvomay. My grandfather, father and I were sitting around and talking about the future. That was the moment we decided to create Zagreus. 

My grandfather had to be in place to manage it. My father had to find the financing and I had to keep my promise to return home after completing my studies abroad and continue what we had started. 

Looking back, more than 20 years later, I can say - we did it! Three generations with one aim - to leave something behind! Three generations and three grapes in one wine!

This wine is dedicated to our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather Dimitar, who passed his dreams on to us."
