DESCRIPTION
A complex, textured and fresh Romanian white.
The lowdown:
This style is nowadays referred to as an 'orange' wine and is made by allowing the grapes to macerate on their skins as in red wine making. The result is a wine full of extra layers and complexity. This delightful Romanian example is made primarily from the indigenous grape Feteasca Alba with additional Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. With a deep colour it has rich quince aromas whch lead to a structured and quite tannic with subtle stone fruit flavours.
When to drink:
For food matching these are wines that go well with robust meaty, even fatty dishes - an oxtail stew would be a good example.
Suitable for Vegans
