Winemaking In crafting this wine, the aim is to create a pure expression of two heritage varieties. After a cool fermentation, varying proportions of Fetească Regală and Albă are tested before an even 50/50 split is determined as the blend’s magic number, capturing Regală’s texture and Albă’s fruit-driven character. Before bottling, French oak adds a nuanced toastiness without overshadowing the grapes’ natural profile, resulting in a wine that is easy to understand but leaves a lasting impression.

Vintage 2022 was one of the warmest years on record in Romania, with the highest temperatures occurring in July and August. Thanks to the Central Moldavian Plateau, these bright and aromatic white varieties stayed cooler than the rest of the country, ripening slowly throughout the growing season before an early harvest locked in the ideal balance of flavor and freshness.

Pairing Logic This blend stands out for its mouthwatering acidity, countered by a light creaminess from oak. The best pairings will highlight its fruit flavors, emphasize its body, and complement its bright, acidic zing. Serve it alongside tender, salted light meats like poultry, pork or seafood. Drizzle these dishes in freshly squeezed citrus juice or tart and tangy sauces and marinades. Soft, creamy cheeses will complement the wine’s acidity and make an excellent topper for vegetable-based side dishes or mains.
