In 1988, three families decided to invest in a winery in Romania. It started with 650ha of slightly unloved vineyards and a rusty, formerly state-owned winery. Today, Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira have turned the Cramele Recas Estate into the most successful winery in Romania.
This is a good example of the quality of wines now being made in this once overlooked corner of Europe. 100% estate grown gapes from the Uberland Hill vineyard. Conventional new world viticulture and meticulous canopy management. Grown on a variety of soils, from cracking clay to limestone rich loam. All vineyards are non-irrigated. Trained to vertical shoot positioned trellis with 2 to 4 canes per vine with replacement spurs. Made from Pinot Noir 85%, Feteasca Neagra 8%, Cabernet Sauvignon 3%.
Tasting note: A soft, smooth, spicy and excellent value Romanian Pinot Noir. Vibrant strawberry and cranberry aromas are balanced with characteristically autumnal and earthy Pinot Noir notes. Soft red fruits running throughout leading up to a lovely elegant finish.
Food match: Semi hard cheeses, salmon, tuna, pork dishes.
