Clear and fresh
Kumova Traditional is unaged and made in stainless steel. It is crystal clear, with fresh grape, green apple and almond. Drink it neat, or chilled to 6 to 8°C, and ice is fine. It goes well with cured meats, pickles, sauerkraut, sheep's cheese and olives.
Kumova Bela is crystal clear too. It brings fresh grape, white peach and Muscat florals. Serve it well chilled, at 6 to 10°C, with white sheep's cheese, Shopska salad, grilled fish or calamari.
Aged in oak
Kumova Žolta is pale amber, made on a copper column and aged in old oak. Expect dried apricot, honeyed citrus, vanilla, almond and nougat. Serve it at 16 to 18°C, or at 12 to 14°C as an aperitif. Try it with kashkaval, ajvar, pindjur, cured meats, figs and walnuts.
Kumova Reserve spends about four years in old and new oak. It is golden, with dried apricot, quince, caramelised apple, honey and tobacco leaf. Drink it neat at 16 to 18°C, with kashkaval, roast lamb or veal, cured meats or dark chocolate.
