Umbrele Sauvignon Blanc shows notes of racy passion fruit, tangerine and gooseberry. Graceful and elegant, with a lovely, alive mouth feel and a medium body. A zingy acidity adds to the elegance, and the flavours echo on the finish.

This is a real old world winery in the Banat region, which goes back to the Roman period. Fast forward to the turn of the century when the region’s vines are being replanted with the noble varietals i.e. Cabernet and Chardonnay etc. Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife, Elvira, divide the production and commercial management between them. Together have turned the Cramele Recas Estate into the most successful winery in Romania.

Recas are now recognized globally for their impressive scale and breadth of fascinating wines, including natural and orange wines made from organic grapes. Despite the increase in scale, the emphasis remains on making quality wines that over-deliver.

The vineyards are a combination of old vines and more recent plantings. The winery has also seen significant investment in state-of-the-art facilities. Recas are in every way a modern, dynamic winery whose open-minded approach and quality sets them apart… a winery you can’t ignore.
