La Putere Feteasca Neagra

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 and 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 – a magic formula that has recently seen sales boom. The vineyards are a combination of old vines and more recent plantings, and the winery has 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.

Strong aromas of fruits – sour cherries, currants, plums, flowers and slightly vegetal aromas. Flavours of wild brambles, followed by floral notes, with hints of vanilla.  Lively  with good body and length.
