About This Wine


NIŞĂ

Vin Alb

We are thrilled to introduce our first-ever Romanian wine to the club. NIŞĂ features two native Romanian grape varieties, Feteasca Regala and Feteasca Alba. This wine is juicy and fresh with enchanting floral aromas and ripe yellow stone fruit flavors. If you enjoy Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blends from Bordeaux and Australia, you'll find this wine equally delicious. Feteasca Regala adds texture and dimension to the wine, while Alba brings a crisp and fruity quality. Together, these grapes create a refreshing blend perfect for sunny patio brunches or lounging at a swanky beach club. The Huși DOC is a small sub-region of Romania's Moldovan Hills. Wine connoisseurs recognize this hidden gem for its exceptional quality. Thanks to its temperate climate and the local winemakers' dedication to time-honored cultivation practices, Huși wines are authentic expressions of the region's terroir and its ancient varietals. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
