Paparuda Chardonnay Rezerva 2012

DSC_0014

Wine description:

  • Country: Romania
  • Grape: Chardonnay
  • Alcohol: 13,85%
  • Style: Rich, full-bodied dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: KASSIMEX
  • Box: Romantic May
  • Price: 290 Kč

Mike's Tip

This full bodied 100% Chardonnay from the plain around Timisoara gives you a good idea example of what a little oak and time can do. Firm acidity but a strong vanilla flavor makes this a very full and rounded wine. The Paparuda range comes from the same Italian family that makes all the Recas wines, so quality is guaranteed.

Monser Šarba 2012

Wine description:

  • Country: Romania
  • Grape: Cuveé
  • Alcohol: 13%
  • Style: Floral sweet semidry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: KASSIMEX
  • Box: Romantic May
  • Price: 149 Kč

Mike's Tip

We went back to "La Belle Epoque" with Romanian wine with this one. Sarba is typically a very aromatic wine, meaning it has a very big nose :-) and this time it is less fruity but herbal. Low in alcohol and a little bit higher sugar count means this is a semi dry wine that will go well with most foods. Serve cold, drink young and enjoy something you HAVE NEVER had before!

Balla Geza Mustoasa de Maderat 2014

Wine description:

  • Country: Romania
  • Grape: Muscat
  • Alcohol: 12%
  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: KASSIMEX
  • Box: Romantic May
  • Price: 199 Kč

Mike's Tip

Fresh, low in alcohol, high acidity and very refreshing. This is what Balla Geza from the Arad region bordering Hungary brings. I tried this wine on one of my trips to Bucharest, and found it to be a great starter wine on a hot afternoon. This wine should be drank cold and as an appetizer or with fish. This isn't one for the sofa in the evening.

Glia 2011

DSC_0013

Wine description:

  • Country: Romania
  • Grape: Babeasca Neaga
  • Alcohol: 13,5%
  • Style: Medium-bodied red wine
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: KASSIMEX
  • Box: Romantic May
  • Price: 299 Kč

Mike's Tip

A very old and little known variety, Babeasca Neagra roughly translates to "Grandmotherly Black" and comes from the Moldova region of north Eastern Romania. Despite its name, Glia ia a light bodied, cherry flavored wine that will be calm on the pallet. Many compare this grape to Pinot Noir and Grenache, but it reminded me of a Valpolicella. We liked it - a lot! This will be a great with red meat.

Balla Geza Cuvee Diorit 2012

DSC_0010

Wine description:

  • Country: Romania
  • Grape: Cuveé
  • Alcohol: 14,37%
  • Style: Full-bodied, rich red wine
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: KASSIMEX
  • Box: Romantic May
  • Price: 264 Kč

Mike's Tip

This is a very complicated one. The Pinot comes out front being quite spicy, but the finish was so short, you forget it was even there. Well rounded and tannic, this is a great companion for dark meat and stew (think goulash!). These vineyards lie right up against the Hungarian border, and has got a lot of attention from western wine gurus. Open before drinking. This one needs some time.

Sole Shiraz / Feteasca Neagra

sole-chiraz-fet-neagra

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

DRINK SLIGHTLY CHILLED – This is a light Shiraz blend that I recommend putting in the fridge for about 10 minutes before drinking. If too warm, the Fetasca will overpower you and trust me – you don’t want to go there.

La Putere Fetasca Neagra

La Putere Featasca

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

OPEN 2 HOURS BEFORE DRINKING – The sister grape to Feteasca Reagla, the Feteasca Neagra can be a beast. If you are not in a hurry, stick this one away for 5 years and then enjoy it. If you want to drink it now, decant or open long before drinking.

Frunza Rose

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

DRINK WELL CHILLED. What makes this one remarkable is the value at 85 Kc! A bit more sugar in this one (polosuche), so served cold with some Asian food or something spicy. Great summer value.

Sole Sauvignon Blanc

RECAS-SOLE-SAUVIGNON BLANC

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

A good dose of citrus here with less pronounced “kopriva”. For those who don’t like their Sauvignon too green, this will be a hit.

Solo Quinta

RECAS-SOLO QUINTA

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

WOW. No wonder this wine has won so many medals and scored an 89 in one of those snobby magazines. Complex flavor, sweet fruits and banana, and a strong oak lead – delicious.

Lautarul Feteasca Regala

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

Our first Feteasca Reagla. Light dry fruity finish. This is a local grape and given the hot dry land, a perfect companion for the summer.

La Putere Cabernet Sauvignon

La Putere Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine description:

Mike's Tip

This was one of the more straight forward premium reds from the Sole range. Strong, but round, this one is perfect for red meat or another strong flavor dish.
