Cramele Recas Estate Pinot Noir
A dark, rich Red wine with potent black cherry, raspberry, and cinnamon notes, perfect with pork
Cramele Recas Pinot Noir from Viile Timisului, Romania, is a captivating Red still dry wine crafted from Pinot Noir and Feteasca Neagra grapes. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine undergoes a unique vinification process, with 25% carbonic maceration for vibrant strawberry notes and the remainder fermented in stainless steel, followed by two months of light French oak ageing for 75% of the blend. It offers gorgeous, almost syrupy concentration with layers of black cherry, raspberry, and cinnamon, complemented by fruit cake and spicy aromatics. The palate is dark, rich, and potent, leading to a lovely long finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with mature cheeses, rich fish like salmon, pork dishes, and poultry.

Vinification
25% of the grapes were transferred directly into 1000 kg bins without being destemmed then sealed and put through a carbonic maceration and fermentation for 10 days in order to produce a strawberry, fruity part of the blend. The remaining 75% was destemmed, lightly crushed and then macerated and fermented normally at 25°C in stainless steel automated fermenters. Both wines where then separately pressed and the noncarbonic maceration wine was lightly oaked for 2 months with French oak before blending.
