In short
G. Filipoff is a small winery in Asenovgrad, southern Bulgaria, making raspberry wine that ferments entirely from fresh, hand-picked Rhodope fruit — no added water, no grape spirit. The style is dry to off-dry, which is not what most people expect from the words “fruit wine”.
What makes it different
Fermented from fruit, not flavoured. The wine ferments entirely from fresh raspberries. No added water, no grape spirit, no preservatives, no colourings. That is what separates a true fruit wine from an aromatised grape base sold under a fruit name — the category most supermarket "raspberry wine" belongs to.
Hand-picked at ~800 m in the Rhodopes. The raspberries come from mountain plantings at roughly 800 metres in the Rhodope Mountains, near Asen's Fortress above Asenovgrad. Picking is by hand. Altitude is what keeps the acidity in the fruit, and the acidity is what keeps the wine dry rather than syrupy.
Dry to off-dry, not a dessert wine. Light ruby, with live fruit acidity and a clean finish. This is the single most common surprise for a first-time drinker: fruit wine has a reputation for sweetness that this range does not meet.
A blend that only Bulgaria could make. Raspberry & Mavrud marries Rhodope raspberry with Mavrud, Bulgaria's signature indigenous grape variety from the Thracian Lowlands. It is a genuine bridge between fruit wine and grape wine, and there is very little like it anywhere.
Recognised at national level. G. Filipoff holds a silver medal from Vinaria 2023, Bulgaria's national wine competition. The award is held by the brand, not by any single bottling.
The range
100% Raspberry Wine, 750 ml — the flagship. Dry raspberry wine, fermented entirely from fresh raspberries.
Raspberry & Mavrud, 750 ml — raspberry blended with Mavrud, Bulgaria’s signature indigenous grape.
Rosé — “Acacia” Hand Made and Rosé from Syrah ADVENTURE.
Still wines — Mavrud “Vinitsa” and Rikat, a white, in small boutique series.
Raspberry rakia — the traditional Bulgarian fruit distillate, made from the same fruit.
How to serve it
100% Raspberry Wine is around 10.5% ABV. Serve it lightly chilled, 10–12 °C, as an aperitif, or alongside dark chocolate, soft cheeses and fruit desserts.
Raspberry & Mavrud is around 11.5% ABV and carries real tannic structure. Serve it at 14–16 °C with lamb, game, mature cheeses or mushroom dishes — it behaves like a red at the table, not like a dessert wine.

Common questions
What is G. Filipoff?
A boutique winery in Asenovgrad, Bulgaria, founded in 2019, making 100% raspberry wine from hand-picked Rhodope fruit, along with a raspberry–Mavrud blend, rosé, white, red and raspberry rakia. It holds a silver medal from Vinaria 2023, Bulgaria's national wine competition.
Is G. Filipoff raspberry wine sweet?
No. The range is dry to off-dry, with live fruit acidity — closer in style to a light red than to a dessert wine. This is the most common misconception about the category.
Where does the fruit come from?
Raspberries are hand-picked from mountain plantings at roughly 800 metres in the Rhodope Mountains, near Asen's Fortress above Asenovgrad in southern Bulgaria.
Is it made from grapes at all?
The 100% Raspberry Wine is fermented entirely from fresh raspberries, with no added water and no grape spirit. The Raspberry & Mavrud bottling is a deliberate blend of raspberry wine with Mavrud, Bulgaria's indigenous grape variety.
Can I order from outside Bulgaria?
Not from the online shop, which delivers inside Bulgaria only, with payment on delivery. Importers, distributors and restaurants outside Bulgaria should use the trade page.
