Viticultural regions
A government decree of 13 July 1960 officially divided Bulgaria into five distinct viticultural regions.[citation needed]
Danubian Plain (North Bulgarian)
The
Gamza. In the US appellation also approved as "Danube River Plains" region.[citation needed
]
Black Sea (East Bulgarian)
The
Traminer, and Gewürztraminer. In the US appellation also approved as "Black Sea Coastal" region.[citation needed
]
Rose Valley (Sub-Balkan)
The
Red Misket grape variety. In the US appellation also approved as "Valley of the Roses" region.[citation needed
]
Thracian Lowland (South Bulgarian)
The temperate continental climate in the area and the favourable distribution of precipitation are good premises for the developed red wine growing in the
Sakar mountain. Mavrud, a famous local wine, as well as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscatel and Pamid are grown.[citation needed

The Balkan Mountains serve to block the cold winds blowing from the plains of Russia, and the region to the south of the Balkans, the valley drained by the Maritsa River, has a
Mediterranean climate, with mild, rainy winters and warm, dry summers. In the US appellation also approved as "Thracian Valley" region.[citation needed
]
Struma River Valley (Southwest Bulgarian)
The region includes the southwestern parts of Bulgaria, the valley of the river
Shiroka Melnishka (taking its name from Melnik), as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are cultivated.[citation needed
