Sliven is part of Bulgaria's Rose Valley wine area. The municipality rises from roughly 180 to 300 metres and has mild winters, relatively warm summers and a transitional-continental climate. The local Bora wind is another notable feature. Sliven is also a PDO wine name, which identifies protected geographic origin on the bottle without defining one fixed flavour profile.
