Umbrele Merlot
Romanian Merlot
£10.50
A dark violet colour is well complimented by rich aromas of dark fruits, plum and blackberry, with notes of spice and a hint of vanilla. Medium bodied, but full of jammy fruit flavours- black current, even a hint of dark chocolate, with warm tannins and a fine finish.
Ideal with roast pork or veal.
In 1988, three families invested in a winery in Romania, revitalizing 650 hectares of vineyards and an old, rusted state-owned winery. Today, Cramele Recas Estate is the most successful winery in Romania, known globally for its impressive range of wines, including natural and orange wines made from organic grapes. Despite its large scale, the focus remains on producing high-quality wines that exceed expectations, driving sales and demand. The vineyards blend ancient plantings dating back to 1447 with newer ones, while the winery has seen significant investment in modern facilities. The winery prioritizes the best methods to preserve the natural quality of the grapes and deliver consistently exceptional wines.
