Wine characteristics:

Category: White Dry Wine

Alc: 13,5% Vol. / Residual Sugars 5.46 /Total Acidity 5.55 g/l

Tasting Notes:

The nose bursts with tropical fruits such as guava and litchi, some aniseed fragrances mingled with confected fruits and herbal Swiss sweets with honey, citrus and a twist of balsamic aromatics. With mild acidity and dense texture, the palate is silky, supporting the freshness and structuring the wine with slightly bitter zests, reminiscent of tangerine peel. Flavours show pronounced intensity of white flowers and tropical scents. Blossomy and zesty aftertaste for a lengthy wine to drink now or in 2-3 years. 

Food pairing: Pairs well with Thai cuisine such as Tiger Prawns curry. A perfect match for poached asparagus with tangerine maltaise sauce.

Wine characteristics:

Category: Red Dry Wine

Alc: 14,5% Vol. / Residual Sugars 4.02 / Total Acidity 5.55 g/l

Ageing: 16 months in oak

Tasting Notes:

Airy, ethereal nose with seductive blossomy character displaying violet flowers, its fruit is ripe and fresh ranging from cherries to blackcurrants. Both varietal and oak- derived spices come along together with a hint of toast on the minty, eucalyptus background. Fine and complex, its juicy palate is wrapped by a silky texture, with salivating acidity and fine- grained elevated tannins. Its youthful firm bite is coated by layers of weight brought by a generous character. The flavours are lifted by spiciness, with glints of cinnamon, cloves, liquorice. Depth and concertation, voluptuous mouthfeel imbued with dark chocolate and toast that linger on the long finish.

Food pairing: Perfect pair for wild squab, slow cooked, served with liquorice scented red wine sauce and creamy polenta.

A remarkable Fetească Neagră that needs 3-4 years to temper its youth and prepare for a long decade.
