Neuron is Max Mavrud’s prestige wine, produced from 100% Mavrud from the high-altitude vineyards of Leskovik. The vineyards are located at an altitude of approximately 780 meters above sea level where cool nights and calcareous soil give the grapes high concentration, fresh acidity and great elegance. The wine is named after the unique underground Lake Neuron, a symbol of depth, power and the area’s unique terroir. A full-bodied and elegant red wine with aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries and plums, complemented by hints of herbs, black pepper and subtle oak. The taste is well-balanced with ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a long, complex aftertaste.

Our Heritage
The Mavrud, Merlot, and Pinot cultivars were grown during the communist regime in the 1980s in the Leskovik area, up to an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. They adapted very well to the climate, producing excellent results.
During the 1990s, following the fall of the dictatorship, many vineyards in Leskovik and throughout Albania were destroyed.
The Max Mavrud Winery family, with deep roots in this region, decided to invest in restoring the identity of Leskovik as a region internationally recognized for high-quality production. They chose to focus on these indigenous varieties, such as White and Black Debinë, along with international cultivars, as these grape types have left a lasting mark on the history of the Leskovik area.
