The wine region of Dobrudja
Sunny plateau of eastern Romania between the Danube and the Black Sea, the country's most promising region, temperate-continental climate, well-drained limestone soils. Fetească Albă is the flagship native white: floral and taut with notes of acacia, citrus, green apple, honey and a mineral touch, vivid acidity — Romania's white emblem. Structured Fetească Neagră in red (black cherry, plum, spices). Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Muscat Ottonel.
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
