Bulgarian historians discovered a grape sort unknown by now.

The grape was found near the mythical Orpheus temple located in Southern Bulgaria. Experts point out that it is still not possible to explain how the 3,000-year-old plant grew up and survived near the temple, as there are no wine yards in the region.

Still, Bulgarian historians are exploring the version that the vine was used for the produce of ancient world hailed "heavy, red wine" made by the ancient Thracians.

The historians called the unique grape sort "Orpheus Tear."

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before somebody proclaims this to be 'the next cool thing' and starts planting acres across California
