Calusari Pinot Grigio
Lovely, opulent aromas of grapefruit and peach, with loads of fruit as well as abundant melon and apple character and citrusy acidity.

Umbrele Merlot
The Cramele Recas Estate, owned by Englishman, Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, have put in a huge amount of work into transforming their slice of grape growing history into a contemporary winemaking haven.
This Merlot is a dark violet colour, well complimented by rich aromas of dark fruits, plum and blackberry, with notes of spice and a hint of vanilla. Medium bodied, but full of jammy fruit flavours and even a hint of dark chocolate. Warm tannins and a fine finish.
Umbrele Sauvignon Blanc
Racy passion fruit, tangerine and gooseberry flavours are 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.

Solevari Reserve Feteasca Neagra
Cramele Recas is a winery in Romania owned by Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife, Elvira. The vineyards are a combination of historic vines from 1447 and more recent plantings and modern wine-making techniques. Feteasca Neagra is a dark-skinned grape indigenous to Romania and Moldova. When translated, it means black maiden and is the most widespread grapes in Romania.
A predominantly spicy nose with black fruits, similar to Pinot Noir but with rich flavours and grippy tannins. Acidity balances it out with a hint of coffee on the finish.
Solevari Reserve Feteasca Regala
Back in 1988, three families decided to invest in a winery in Romania, starting with 650 hectares of slightly unloved vineyards and a rusty, once state-owned winery.
Yet Englishman Philip Cox and his Romanian wife Elvira, have turned the Cramele Recas Estate into the most successful winery in Romania. Recas are now recognised globally for their impressive scale and breadth of fascinating wines, including natural and orange wine from organic grapes. Despite the scale the emphasis is on making good wines that over-deliver, and as a result they’ve struck on a magic formula that has seen sales and demand boom.
Vineyards are a combination of evolved plantings from 1447 and more recent planting, whilst the winery has seen significant investment and boasts state of the art facilities where innovation thrives. Recas are in every way a modern, dynamic winery, whose open minded approach and quality sets them apart … a winery you really can’t ignore.
Fresh jasmine flower and white peach on the nose, the palate is packed with stone fruit flavours such as apricot and is smooth and crisp on the finish.
Solara Orange Wine
Refreshing like a white wine, with the complexity of red wine. This orange wine is made by leaving the grape skins and seeds in contact with the pressed juice, creating a deep orange-hued finish. This is a complex and structured wine, with elegant but discreet fruit flavours of stone fruits, backed up with a powerful tannin structure and long finish. A natural minimal intervention wine which is well balanced and structured yet pure and incredibly fresh.
Villa Vinea Kerner
Full-bodied, exotic flavours of juicy mango and grapefruit. Something a bit different and worth trying.
Villa Vinea Feteasca Neagra
Plums, wild cherry and rich mineral aromas with cherry liquor flavours leading to rich dark chocolate and vanilla. Best served with rich game or red meat dishes.
Villa Vinea Pinot Noir
A fresh Pinot Noir with juicy red fruit aromas. Blackberries and cherries more on the palate and a long fruity finish with some minerality and slight menthol notes.
