VintruVian, Trilogie în Roșu 2023

VintruVian Estates, under the Crama Olt Terra label, is part of Romania’s wave of quality-minded, boutique wine producers. Based in the Drăgășani region near the Olt River, they focus on layering traditional Romanian varieties (like Negru de Drăgășani) with international classics. Their efforts emphasise sustainable viticulture, hand harvesting, selective sorting, and balanced oak use. The team aspires to showcase local terroir through thoughtful blending and modern winemaking. Made from a blend of Fetească Neagră, Negru de Drăgășani and Băbească Neagră; it's a deep garnet in colour with a glossy rim. On the nose: ripe black cherry, plum compote and wild berry, set against subtle spice and cedar hints. The palate is rich yet lithe, featuring juicy dark fruit, fine tannins, a touch of forest-floor complexity and a firm, lingering finish. A confident blend celebrating Romanian heritage and modern finesse.
